Illinois Hemp and CBD Lawyers
The regulatory differences between CBD, hemp, medical marijuana, and recreational marijuana are complex, convoluted, and nearly impossible to comprehend. Though all of the above are now legal in Illinois, they are each classified differently and place different regulatory burdens on businesses that trade in these products. And that’s just at the state level, not even accounting for federal law! Because CBD and hemp have the most uses, the regulation of these goods are especially complicated areas. At the Chicago Cannabis Law Group, we sort through the snarl of legalese that governs the businesses of hemp growers and CBD wholesalers, retailers, and producers. We provide legal and regulatory guidance to businesses across the state – advice which is especially important now, as Illinois’s CBD laws change to accommodate the recent advancements in Illinois cannabis law.
Most of the cannabis news you hear relates to personal use. One would be forgiven for thinking that the cannabis plant was only good for growing medical and recreational marijuana. However, CBD and hemp see wide implementation in a variety of industries. Demand for these products is bound to increase as cannabis derivatives see increasing sage and acceptance, and the legal needs of hemp and CBD businesses will surely grow as well. We help our CBD clients with more than just legal and regulatory issues. We also draw from a wealth of experience in business law to provide valuable business advice that goes above and beyond the letter of the law. Simply maintaining compliance isn’t enough – to truly reach your business’s potential, you need solid business guidance and trustworthy predictions to how the laws will change. This one-two punch of commercial counsel and legal foresight, only offered by the Chicago Cannabis Law Group, will strengthen your company and position it for the future of the CBD market.

Scott Roberts began at an AM200 (read: big) firm near Detroit, practicing business and healthcare law. He sharpened his skills there for four years before being struck by the entrepreneurial spirit and starting Scott F. Roberts Law, a boutique business law firm. While his first representations spanned a variety of industries, he saw a need for his services in Michigan’s growing market for medical marijuana. Many of the “marijuana attorneys” who were helping these businesses came from a background in criminal law and were poorly suited to promote their client’s business interests. These companies needed a lawyer who actually knew business law, and Scott Roberts stepped up to the plate. Afterwards, he expanded his practice to include CBD, hemp, and recreational marijuana.
We expect that Illinois’s commercial hemp and CBD industries will see a period of new growth in the years to come, as cannabis products across the board see increased usage and acceptance. All signs indicate that the production of commercial hemp and the derivation of CBD will expand and, if you successfully position your business for the future, you can reap the rewards.
