CANNABIS IS A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE UNDER FEDERAL LAW AND THEREFORE CONFLICTS WITH MANY STATE LAWS WHERE CANNABIS HAS BECOME A LEGALLY LICENSED BUSINESS PRACTICE. WHILE FEDERAL POLICIES CURRENTLY PROTECT THOSE PERSONS COMPLIANTLY PARTICIPATING IN A PROPERLY STATE-LICENSED CANNABIS BUSINESS, THERE IS ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY THAT SUCH SUPPORTING FEDERAL POLICY COULD CHANGE IN THE FUTURE. IT IS THE INTENT OF THE NEMPHOS BRAUE LLC CANNABIS PRACTICE GROUP TO ADVISE CLIENTS REGARDING STATE LAW COMPLIANCE, AND NEVER FOR THE INTENTIONAL VIOLATION OR CIRCUMVENTION OF FEDERAL LAW. CHANGES IN STATE AND FEDERAL POLICIES REGARDING CANNABIS MAY ALTER PREVIOUS ADVICE PROVIDED TO CLIENTS OF THIS PRACTICE GROUP AND THE DYNAMICS OF THAT ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP, INCLUDING THE NEGATION OF ANY ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP.
