Why do security guidelines vary from state to state?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Cannabis is illegal at the federal level. In recent history, the federal government has stayed out of the way of states and allowed states to govern these sectors independently. This means that when marijuana is legalized within a state, the state government must create an entire market and all the rules and regulations that go along with it. Some states will look to other places that have implemented successful programs, and some just wing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some states have very little regulatory requirements when it comes to the operation of businesses, and certain areas of concern that are normally heavily regulated in other industries (like security) are barely glossed over in the legislation. This is due to the illegal status of the substance at the federal level. Many states anticipate marijuana becoming legal nationwide at some point. When this happens, no action would be needed as federal law supersedes state law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhy is compliance so important?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Staying compliant means staying operational. Facilities operating within a legal marijuana market are subject to random inspections. If a facility didn\u2019t pass an inspection, it could be slapped with a hefty fine and\/or forced to close until the infraction is brought up to standard. This means lost sales on top of expensive fines & the facility could take a hit to their reputation. Remember: a facility will never be fined for being too safe. It may seem daunting to spend (invest) a large sum into securing a facility, but down the road \u2013 it makes fiscal sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What implementations should a facility employ?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
