Illinois has become the 11th state to allow some form of recreational cannabis sales. As many have found out, to become part of this 21st Century gold rush, the licensing requirements are brutal and you need both a successful track record of business experience, but also knowledge of the cannabis industry and its primary product – cannabis.Unlike other cannabis educational materials on the market, authors Scott Redman and Ed Reyes, have written Illinois Adult Use Cannabis: Cannabis Knowledge for Principal Officers to educate the board member, not train the budtender (and if you don’t know what a “budtender” is, you really have a lot to learn). Illinois Adult Use Cannabis: Cannabis Knowledge for Principal Officers provides the potential “principal officer” of an Illinois cannabis business with a solid foundation of legal, operational and technical knowledge of the Illinois adult use cannabis field.Redman, a leading Chicago corporate attorney, and Reyes, a highly experienced California-based cannabis manufacturing professional, collaborate to guide the reader on a C-Suite oriented trip through subjects such as Federal Illegality v. State Regulation, Operational Compliance Issues, Active Ingredients of Cannabis, and Factors Influencing Effects of Cannabis. Redman and Reyes conclude with a survey of cannabis products that is organized and written to provide the potential principal officer with a working knowledge of the different types of cannabis products and cannabis strains likely to be produced or sold by their cannabis business, including the basic properties and usage of each.Illinois Adult Use Cannabis: Cannabis Knowledge for Principal Officers will be the accompanying material for the soon to be released webinar of the same name.
