aBIZinaBOX Cannabis Practice – Launches Management Site
Its 8 PM on Friday, December 15 and that means we have two weeks to the deadline for legal recreational cannabis in California. We have noticed that everyone isn’t thrilled with the legalization that they had been clamoring for….for years. The reality is cannabis is going to be legal, heavily tax, and the business is going to be highly regulated and complicated. It seems that the only thing most people hate more than the taxes is the complexity.
Well, rather than bemoaning the taxes, we took the approach that aBIZinaBOX is going to be a leader in SOLVING the problems of businesses in the California cannabis industry. We aren’t a huge firm, but we know a whole lot about solving client problems. Rather than yammer about why we are so smart, we gonna play show me. Permit us to introduce you to our new website. We think it reflects our approach to problem-solving rather than talking a whole bunch.
So here are the stars of the show.
We start with a virtual client portal with a ticketing system, knowledge base and FAQ’s if you have burning need to get your questions answered when everyone else is sleeping. No worries, the entire site has very aggressive SSL security, and some other cybersecurity measures we aren’t going to discuss just yet.

The next stop is our cannabis industry blog which is going to feature the cannabis industry expertise of our practice, our friends in the business and some of our clients. If you have the expertise and would like to see yourself in print, let’s talk we are always looking to learn something. We have divided the discussion into five areas:
California Cannabis Counselor’s Corner – Legal and Regulatory Discussion
Ask the Chemist – Extraction, Edibles, Laboratory Testing
Manufacturer – Best Practices Operating Procedures Additional Responsibilities – Security
California Cannabis Chaos – Experiences Related to the Transition to a regulated market.
We think that most people haven’t given one iota of thought to there being a chance to earn additional 25+ percentage margin on cannabis purchased before year end which they won’t take delivery until the first half of 2018. If you aren’t following my logic check out this link.

Cannabis Industry Developments
This one is exactly what it says….industry developments with a focus on accounting, tax, regulatory compliance and the market.
Everything Else
Finally, something which is exactly what is said.
The next stop is our repository of licensing, and regulatory compliance filings. This is where we do and discuss CPA’s type things with some licensing thrown in.

The next stop is a bit more interesting….here we are going to leverage some of our operations background and share some of the talented people we have met in our practice to address some service offerings which will include skills like.

After that, we should probably show off our repository of knowledge related to the regulatory process courtesy of our friends – BCC, CDPH, and CDFA. We might as well do deluxe alphabet soup and add in all of the other agencies including the Water Boards and the Pesticide people and let have a look at some topics.
