State of Cannabis Law 2026
Robert Hoban · Founding Partner, Hoban Law Group
Robert Hoban opens Cannabis Law Day with a comprehensive survey of where cannabis law stands today. Federal rescheduling trajectory, the §280E litigation landscape, banking reform momentum, state-by-state regulatory velocity, and the top five legal risks every cannabis operator must address before year-end.
Section 280E in 2026: Strategies That Work
Speakers TBD
A deep-dive panel on §280E strategy as federal rescheduling advances. Topics: the IRC §471(c) safe harbor election for qualifying small-business taxpayers, IRS LB&I audit trends, state-level 280E decoupling in CA/CO and emerging states, and cost-accounting frameworks that withstand examination. Practitioners share real case outcomes.
Building Multi-State Compliance Programs
Robert Hoban · Founding Partner, Hoban Law Group
Robert Hoban leads a hands-on workshop on designing compliance programs that work across jurisdictions. Workshop covers: SOP architecture for multi-state operators, seed-to-sale tracking reconciliation, license change-of-control notification matrices, and documentation systems that protect licenses during regulatory inspections. Attendees leave with a compliance program template.
Banking, Capital, and the SAFE Act
Speakers TBD
The cannabis banking landscape in 2026: FinCEN MRB guidance in practice, credit union and community bank relationships, the SAFER Banking Act trajectory in Congress, institutional capital entering the industry, and alternative financing structures operators use when traditional bank lending is unavailable.
Inside an MSO C-Suite
Guest TBD
A candid fireside conversation with the C-suite of a leading multi-state operator. Topics: how MSOs structure the legal entity stack, what keeps cannabis executives up at night from a legal perspective, the real cost of regulatory non-compliance at scale, and what MSOs look for in outside cannabis counsel.
Cannabis M&A Diligence Walkthrough
Robert Hoban · Founding Partner, Hoban Law Group
Robert Hoban walks through a real cannabis M&A diligence checklist. Topics: license transferability analysis by state, change-of-control regulatory approval timelines, background check requirements for incoming ownership, 280E carryforward liability in equity acquisitions, earnout structures in volatile markets, and common deal-killer findings from diligence.
Federal Rescheduling: Status + Strategy
Speakers TBD
The DEA rescheduling rulemaking status as of November 2026: where the administrative record stands, what Schedule III means for §280E, pharmaceutical research access, federal contractor implications, and what operators should be doing now to position for federal normalization. Panel includes practitioners who submitted public comments on the proposed rule.
