Kroll Featured in Boston Business Journal Discussing Compliance in the Cannabis Industry
As the pioneering industry of cannabis emerges, so too do the issues of regulation within the industry.

Not only do these companies have to consider the safety of their employees and customers, but also the footprint they are leaving behind as the industry continues to grow. In short, the cannabis industry can’t be satisfied with meeting standards; it needs to set the standards.”
