Advances For The Cannabis Industry
The cannabis industry is coming closer to becoming an officially established business sector this week. Today on March 18th the SAFE banking Act will be reintroduced in Congress. Last time the bill was passed in the House but fell short in a Senate under Republican control. With new leadership currently in position, the bill may have a better chance of passing into law. This could further increase the growth of the cannabis industry in the U.S.
At the current moment, U.S. cannabis companies are growing at a substantial rate. Currently, leading marijuana companies are doing this through acquisitions and mergers that have ramped up since 2020. This method provides an already established cannabis presence in key growth markets. With better banking laws for cannabis companies, they may be able to turn to banks for capital and loans. At this time cannabis companies have been forced to deal with a cash-only business model that has held back the industry.
Another possibility that continues to be possible is federal cannabis reform. Provided that the SAFE Banking Act does well in congress cannabis reform and decriminalization could be next up on the agenda. With reform comes the possibility of Canadian cannabis companies entering the U.S. market. Realistically this could take some time to implement but many cannabis companies and investors are preparing for the event.
