Comply and Compete
Video Transcribed: What is the importance of compliance in the medical marijuana business industry in Oklahoma?
I am Tulsa medical marijuana business attorney Ope Adegbuyi. Compliance is a critical aspect of the medical marijuana industry in Oklahoma. So failure to comply with state regulations can result in fines, legal action and damage to business reputation.
Here’s why compliance is so important and what medical marijuana businesses need to do to stay compliant. The first thing is regulatory requirements. The Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority sets specific regulations for medical marijuana businesses in the state. These regulations cover everything from licensing requirements to security measures, product testing. So businesses would have to make sure that they’re complying with those security measures and product testing requirements.
The second thing would be compliance inspections. The OMMA conducts compliance inspections to ensure that medical marijuana businesses are following these regulations and failure to comply can result in fines, suspension and even revocation of the business’s license.
The third thing is consumer trust. Compliance is essential for building trust with consumers by following regulations and providing safe, high quality products. Medical marijuana businesses can establish themselves as trustworthy and reputable if they are compliant.
The third thing is legal protection. Sorry, the fourth thing. Compliance can also offer legal protection for medical marijuana businesses. If a business is sued for compliance violation, it may be able to defend itself by demonstrating that it took all the necessary steps to comply with the regulations.
The fifth thing and last thing is competitive advantage. Finally, compliance can offer a competitive advantage for medical marijuana businesses by complying with regulations and providing high quality products. Businesses can set themselves apart from competitors that may cut corners or ignore the laws.
