Federal Laws and Medical Marijuana

Medical marijuana is not legal under federal law. Although people who use medical marijuana in compliance with their state laws are rarely charged with a federal offense, it is possible to be faced with federal criminal charges for using medical marijuana products. Using or possessing medical marijuana on federal property, such as a national park, increases chances of being arrested by a federal agent.

Since medical marijuana is not federally legal, it can also be difficult for businesses to acquire funding and access banking services because banks are federally regulated. Just one of the challenges facing medical marijuana businesses, The Law Group of Northwest Arkansas PLLC can help you find solutions to the issues and challenges inherent in the medical marijuana industry.
