Verano Executive Bullish on the Future of the U.S. Cannabis Industry

The past year was pivotal for the legal cannabis industry’s acceptance as a mainstream business in the U.S. The Department of Health and Human Services in August recommended to the Drug Enforcement Administration that marijuana be reclassified to a less restrictive Schedule III substance from a Schedule I substance. The Senate Banking Committee, meanwhile, in September approved the Secure and Fair Enforcement Regulation Banking Act, which would give cannabis businesses greater access to banking services, and it now awaits a vote on the Senate floor.
