New Cannabis Consulting Firm Aims to Guide Grower Compliance
April 16, 2020 
Verde Compliance Partners, LLC, is a newly formed national cannabis consulting firm. The group is hoping to provide a much-needed service to the market by guiding cannabis growers, processors, and manufacturers through permitting, taxation, and regulatory compliance in preparation for federal legalization.
With marijuana recreationally legal in 11 states, and medically legal in 33 states, getting ready for federal compliance can put your company ahead of the curve once cannabis is federally legalized.
“With the changing landscape of legal cannabis in the United States, federal legalization is more likely than ever,” says Harry Bernstein, Executive Director of Verde. “Cannabis growers and processors have the opportunity to get all of their ducks in a row now and be ready for launch once federal legalization hits. Our team has the expertise and relationships to help our clients navigate through the compliance process and be first in line when that critical day comes.”
Verde’s team consists of established senior-level executives leveraging decades of unique experience and contacts in the alcohol and tobacco industries at the local, state, and federal levels. Cannabis permitting is expected to roll out similarly to these other segments, enabling Verde’s experts to guide clients through the regulatory, legal, and administrative requirements necessary to comply with current and future federal regulations.
As a full-service firm, Verde provides an initial consultation and prequalification analysis to determine a client’s eligibility for potential federal permitting and provide guidance to resolve any issues ahead of applying. In addition, a member subscription ensures that clients receive updates and advice regarding the changing cannabis landscape, as well as priority application service once federal prohibition is repealed.
“We believe that the cannabis industry needs to be legalized, regulated, and taxed for the safety of the general public and as an economic driver of the communities that cannabis businesses serve,” says Tony Haynes, Verde’s Director of Client and Government Relations.
