“It’s an unprecedented time for the U.S. economy as the containment measures for Coronavirus (COVID-19) impact small businesses and the Cannabis Industry.
With federal and local governments primarily focused on the cash-flow pressures faced by individuals and families, this is a great opportunity to get the latest information about changes that directly impact the health and security of cannabis & hemp businesses.” — Caputo Group
