Green Bits: Helping Cannabis Retailers Stay CompliantWith Liz Goldcannabizcpa.pro at cpatrendlines.comAfter selling his former company, Outright, to GoDaddy in 2012, Ben Curren stayed at the company for a year and then started considering what he would do next. After listening to cannabis-related news and realizing the inventory problems that were emerging due to compliance, Curren got excited to tackle some of the issues plaguing many cannabis dispensaries. As a result, he jumped into the cannabis industry, leveraging his skills and background as an engineer at QuickBooks to create a new technology to help legal cannabis retailers stay compliant.Founded in 2014, headquartered in San Jose, Calif., with another office in Portland, Ore., Green Bits serves more than 1,000 cannabis retailers across 13 states and processes more than $2.7 billion in sales annually through its point-of-sale platform.

Welcome to dispensary compliance updates by Green Bits. This week’s regulatory compliance updates are from April 23rd to April 29th. In federal news, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released a statement that clarified that the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill rendered the importation of hemp seeds legal. The USDA held that the DEA “no longer has authority to require hemp seed permits for import purposes.” Additionally, the USDA announced last Wednesday that hemp cultivators can officially apply for intellectual property protection for seed-propagated hemp, making the newly legal crop part of an existing program. This will allow farmers to prohibit others from marketing their variety of the plant. In payments news, PayPal Inc.’s Q1 2019 lobbying report, the company added the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act of 2019 to its list of lobbying efforts in Congress. The lobbying effort supports allowing cannabis businesses to have access to banking services and signals a change in the way the tech giant treats businesses in the cannabis industry.
