The article outlines the remarkable progress in cannabis advocacy over the past decade, culminating with major victories in 2024, including the legalization of recreational cannabis in over 30 states and the passing of the SAFE Banking Act. This landmark legislation provided cannabis businesses access to traditional banking, a significant shift from the cash-only environment. Public education initiatives also gained traction, showcasing personal stories that helped destigmatize cannabis use. However, advocates remain aware of future challenges, such as the continued disparities between state and federal laws, as they move into 2025.
Despite the wins, the cannabis advocacy sector must address significant challenges in 2025, particularly the inconsistency between state and federal laws in the U.S.
The passage of the SAFE Banking Act was a notable victory for the industry, allowing cannabis businesses access to traditional banking services and transforming their operations.
