Bell Nunnally's Karen Hart Co-Authors Legalink Article Exploring U.S., European Regulation of Cannabis

Bell Nunnally Partner Karen L. Hart co-authored the Legalink “The Lawyer Global” newsletter article “Cannabis Laws in the U.S. and Europe Continue to Evolve.” The piece explores cannabis laws and regulations in the U.S. and in the E.U., noting similarities and differences – including shared macro level legal uncertainties and tensions.

Hart comments on conditions in the U.S., breaking down regulatory changes with cannabis, CBD and hemp. She notes, “[T]he federal-state tensions and resulting legal uncertainties for cannabis and ancillary businesses, including difficulties in banking and financing and finding protections under bankruptcy laws, will persist. The cannabis industry, however, remains undaunted and continues to grow, with sales reportedly soaring during the pandemic.”
