Cannabis Compliance Challenges
In recent years, I have had to eat crow several times and at times I can barely tell the difference between crow and chicken. So, to be fair, I reached out to the media and members of the CCC to admit that I had formed a hasty and inaccurate conclusion. Thanks to Rick Gilbert of Stoker Consulting, LLC, I have a newfound respect for the program.
Stoker Consulting has covered all the bases for us at CNA, giving us an in-depth understanding of privacy issues, prohibited purchases and practices (3P’s), provisions for confiscating fraudulent ID’s, common mistakes made in verification, permitting by the state and local licensing and enforcement agencies, inspections and an abundance of other equally important information.
Rick not only confronted my skepticism in a logical way, but also helped me to get excited about teaching and guiding new staff. His depth of legal knowledge of the cannabis industry regulations, his perspective about the creation of regulations, and his down-to-earth teaching style will help to strengthen CNA’s commitment to staff education. Annual training will be more comprehensive due to Rick’s knowledge and guidance. CNA looks forward to a long-lasting relationship with Rick and Stoker Consulting. My misconceptions have been clarified and my horizons have been broadened, thanks to Rick.
