TETERBORO, NJ—The rising use of medical marijuana, a burgeoning trend to legalization of recreational use of marijuana, and the legality of non-hallucinogenic hemp-derived cannabinol oils, or CBD, for consumer use are opening up opportunities in the retail market, but state and local regulations are still tricky to navigate, according to Michael Walters, executive managing director of NAI James E. Hanson’s Corporate Services Group.

Walters recently represented Fort Collins, CO-based Palm Organix, which sells premium, pharmaceutical grade CBD products, made from organically grown, industrial hemp in the location of a story in New York state, and he says New Jersey rules are challenging, too.
