California Marijuana Business Lawyer
The Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA) legalized recreational marijuana in the state of California. With the passage of this law came the need for specialized business licenses for cannabis businesses across the state. Retailers, cultivators, testing facilities, and other distributors must meet specific requirements to ensure that the marijuana products consumed by Californians are safe. To succeed in this new market, marijuana businesses need a law firm on their side with considerable experience in the California marijuana business industry.
At the Knez Law Group, our experienced lawyers know that legitimate California marijuana businesses face special issues and obstacles. Running a lawful and successful cannabis operation is difficult and requires a law firm that can keep up with the changing laws, regulations, and processes that businesses must put into place. To avoid costly challenges, lawsuits, fines, and disputes, you need solid legal protection. We can provide that protection and help you protect your cannabis business every step of the way.
Why Do You Need a Riverside Marijuana Business Attorney?
Marijuana dispensaries, farms and distribution centers are popping up all across Los Angeles, San Diego, Riverside and San Bernardino. Since recreational marijuana is now legal, these businesses must adhere to various Federal, State and local restrictions and regulations. These regulations restrict how marijuana can be grown, sold, transported, and even consumed. Businesses who fail to follow these regulations can face serious penalties and legal consequences.
Before beginning your marijuana venture, it is imperative that you discuss your business plans and compliance with an experienced California cannabis business lawyer at The Knez Law Group immediately. We can work with you to make sure you take every precaution before setting up shop, or after opening your doors.

There are strict time limits for renewing cannabis business licenses. These guidelines vary according to location and industry type. If you fail to submit your renewal, you may not be able to operate your business until your license is renewed.
Understanding the AUMA & Your Cannabis Business
The Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA) legalized, taxed, and regulated the marijuana industry in California. As a marijuana business owner, you must keep up with the ever-changing rules, laws, and regulations and ensure that your business remains compliant. Non-compliance in the marijuana industry is taken seriously, and business owners can face serious legal fines and consequences.
Before starting a marijuana business in California, you must understand the AUMA and the various licenses you may need to begin. You must also understand the zoning issues and environmental requirements that could adversely affect your business and its ability to open. San Diego, Riverside, and Los Angeles all have specific restrictions on zoning and land use. If you violate these restrictions, you could lose your cannabis license altogether.
From the application to the operation of your marijuana business, our lawyers will be there to offer guidance, support, and resources.
