Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – December 15, 2023 – Greenspoon Marder has been recognized as an honoree in the Fifth Annual “Cannabis 50” List published by MGO. This year, the report highlights those considered the “most inspiring, impactful, and innovative figures and entities” in the cannabis and hemp industries. Where previous Cannabis 50 honorees were selected based on their contributions in the previous year, this year’s list also accounts for the total impact of the honorees over the five years since the Cannabis 50 was launched.

Nick Richards, partner and co-chair of the Cannabis Law practice group, highlighted the challenges faced by the industry this year in the report, emphasizing, “The significant hurdle was a nuanced understanding of Section 280E, the 280E capital asset theory, and the Section 471(c) method.
