Compliance Doesn't Pause for M&A: How to Protect Your Cannabis License Through a Merger or Acquisition

Cannabis compliance is one of the most consequential and often underestimated parts of running a retail or multi-state operation. Every state has its own regulatory framework, enforcement approach, and inspection cadence, and the gap between a well-run compliance program and a reactive one often shows up as six-figure fines, license risk, or operational breakdown. This episode of Cannabis Marketing Live brings together Jake Litke, CEO of MediaJel, and Jenny Germano, founder of ICS Consulting and one of the most experienced compliance operators in the country, for a candid conversation about what compliance actually looks like in practice.The podcast covers the full compliance landscape for cannabis retailers and MSOs, including how state inspections work, what the most common violations are and why they keep happening, how to approach licensing transfers and M&A, how to decide which SOPs to keep when merging two businesses, the compliance challenges specific to multi-state operators, and where the international market currently stands. Whether you're running one location or operating across several states, this session offers a clear, operational view of how to build compliance programs that actually hold up.Want more great cannabis marketing tips?!Join thousands of others and gain access to exclusive cannabis marketing content, timely regulatory news, and advertising support: www.mediajel.com/cannabis-business-resource/Like us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/MediaJelFollow us on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/mediajel/Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/mediajel/Follow us on X (Formerly Twitter): www.twitter.com/MediaJelLet's strategize about your business: www.mediajel.com/contact-us/
