When raising money for a business, various securities law issues may come into play. You need to follow the rules carefully in order to preserve limited liability under the law. Both the federal exemption and the state filing usually limit the amount raised to $1 million in a one-year period. In addition, there is another option called Regulation A, subject to a different set of rules, but it allows a business to "test the waters" for interest before undertaking more formal filing actions.

Three recent events will prove seminal in the to-be-written history of the industry and finally announce a pathway for investors and entrepreneurs, sometimes now referred to "ganjapreneurs" or "cannabusinesses." The U. S. Department of Justice has said it will not interfere with marijuana retail sales as long as all rules are followed and all taxes are paid. The U.S. Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network issued formal guidance to banks on how to do business with marijuana companies. The President of the United States compared marijuana to alcohol.

Three early 2014 developments signal a new regulatory regime is on the way. The U.S. Department of Justice announced it will not interfere with marijuana retail sales as long as all state and Federal rules are followed and all taxes are paid. The U.S. Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network issued formal guidance to U.S. banks on how to do business with marijuana firms. The President of the United States mentioned marijuana and alcohol in the same sentence. An enormous, quasi-dormant underground economy is awakening and large components are coming to the surface. Taylor West, deputy director of the 440-member National Cannabis Industry Association, said, "There is a whole canopy of products that goes beyond plants." He cites cannabis-infused foods and drinks, cannabis oils, butters, tinctures, and salves. New regulatory demands will spark other opportunities such as laboratories to test for impurities and software systems to track product from seed-to-sale. But make no mistake about it: Some investors in some of the publicly-held cannabis-connected companies detailed at www.hempinsiders.com will lose money.
