The U.S. cannabis industry is still in its infancy, even though states began engaging with legalization in one form or another in the late 1990s.

CBD has developed an enviable reputation for providing a natural solution that is viewed as a remedy for a variety of common ailments. Although it is widely known by its acronym, CBD is actually cannabidiol and is one of the chemical compounds found in the cannabis or marijuana plant.

Last year, our cannabis business attorneys closed more than $100 million in cannabis company acquisitions, and that shows no signs of stopping in 2019. Cannabis M&A is not your run-of-the-mill business dealing though, and working from boilerplate, rote M&A documents is hugely dangerous.
