The Associated Press just announced that DEA has agreed to reschedule Cannabis, which is going to usher in all sorts of change. Unfortunately, a lot will stay the same, and things are inevitably going to become much more complicated from a compliance standpoint. On the one hand, 280E won’t be so punitive, but taxes will still be high, and accounting will be even more challenging. Don’t get blindsided by what’s to come. 
In our latest podcast, DOPE CFO CEO and founder, Andrew Hunzicker, CPA discusses "How accounting and taxes will change when Cannabis is Rescheduled."
He shares information on:

 How rescheduling affects raising capital
 The more complex tax returns
 Valuation considerations as rescheduling happens
