The Challenge Of Washington D.C. Regulations

While many states are waiting to legalize all cannabis for recreational and medical use, Washington D.C. has legalized both. The state allows for legal cannabis with limits, which is great news for new and current businesses. 

However, you are still met with some challenges with compliance regulations and laws that can make it hard to operate, especially if you want to open a cannabis business in the state. 

Challenges

  • Regulatory Hostility: The regulations always change no matter the season and your business has to adjust every time. But when you have guidelines to adapt to new regulations, you can stay ahead.
  • High Taxes: There is a high tax rate imposed on many licensed cannabis owners from sales to excise tax. Several owners need to keep up with reporting their taxes and analyzing the taxes they owe accurately. 
  • Lack Of Retail Sales Opportunities: The state has legalized both recreational and medical use, but they have not allowed the retail sales of cannabis. This is a challenge, leaving many business owners to miss out on sales and pursue different avenues, like the unregulated gifting practice. 

With the onset of challenges, many cannabis owners have to remain flexible and stick to compliance processes, no matter how taxing it is on their business.
