Cannabis Regulatory Compliance

Ringgenberg Law Firm helps cannabis clients navigate California’s challenging regulatory landscape at both the state and local level. We work with clients to strategize creative but compliant paths to achieve business goals. We have assisted clients through compliance audits and notices of violation, and have advocated for clients through the state rule-making process, in regulator investigations and site visits, and in enforcement proceedings. 

While state regulations have more or less stabilized, conditions change frequently at the local level. We can help you understand how to respond to changing regulations, whether by converting to new administrative processes or shaping your site-specific SOPs in order to stay operationally-compliant. We also provide guidance concerning state and local taxes, METRC consultations for canopy compliance, lobby reporting, regulatory advice for packaging, and support in maintaining compliance as you scale your business. Has the county re-numbered your property parcel? Did your dog eat your METRC tags? We’ve seen it all, and we’ve got you covered.

Ringgenberg Law Firm also provides real-time regulatory advice to clients in the rapidly evolving hemp and CBD industry. Our guidance includes assistance in complying with the numerous confusing state laws and regulations being applied to hemp cultivation and hemp-based CBD products, as well as advice regarding federal compliance.
