Marijuana rescheduling is changing the compliance landscape. Do you understand the new risks and opportunities?
At the end of 2025, federal marijuana policy shifted
dramatically with the reclassification of medical marijuana from a Schedule 1
to a Schedule 3 drug. This webinar will explain the impacts this historic move
may have on banking, compliance, and HR operations. Participants will learn how
to evaluate and manage risks when serving licensed marijuana operators before
the SAFER Banking Act takes effect and review the implications for internal
policies, testing, and employee accommodations.
KEY WEBINAR TAKEAWAYS
- How historic marijuana rescheduling does — and does not — impact financial institutions
- Cannabis banking risks post-rescheduling and pre-SAFER Banking Act
- How reclassification affects your marijuana policy and procedures
BONUS MATERIALS
- Whitepaper: Marijuana Policy & Best Practices: Handling Employee Medical & Recreational Use
- Marijuana Rules: Guidelines for Creating Effective Cannabis Policy & Procedures
WEBINAR DETAILS
At year-end 2025, the long-awaited rescheduling of
marijuana took a big step forward when President Trump signed an executive
order reclassifying medical marijuana from a Schedule 1 drug (on par with
heroin) to a Schedule 3 drug (comparable to Tylenol® with Codeine No. 3). Once
enshrined as law, the historic rescheduling of medical marijuana will favorably
impact the cannabis industry — and potentially could improve licensed marijuana
operators’ access to financial institutions’ products and services.
This
webinar will explore how to assess and manage risks associated with providing
products and services to the cannabis industry post-rescheduling and pre-SAFER
Banking Act. Learn what rescheduling means (or does not mean) for your
financial institution’s marijuana policy, testing, terminations,
accommodations, and other HR and business issues.
