About Us

US Cannabis serves as a resource for organizations seeking to normalize, legalize and develop medicinal cannabis by engaging in commerce, marketing, regulatory reform and product/process development. Our mission is to move society forward through legalized cannabis.

We believe the most powerful form of advocacy is commerce, and the best way to promote cannabis is by working together to create a robust industry. US Cannabis seeks to achieve these objectives by helping clients ensure they meet licensing requirements, comply with regulations and effectively manage their operations to ensure success for all stakeholders.
