Jason Adelstone to Attend the International Cannabis Business Conference in Berlin

Next week, Harris Sliwoski LLP attorney Jason Adelstone will be attending the International Cannabis Business Conference in Berlin, where he is looking forward to connecting with international cannabis businesses, investors, and regulatory experts from around the world.

As global cannabis markets continue to expand, events like ICBC provide an important opportunity to discuss emerging trends, cross-border investment, supply chain development, and the future of cannabis regulation. ICBC Berlin has become one of the leading forums for discussing where the global cannabis market is headed, drawing the people actively shaping it.

As Jason has previously written about, the United States is missing a golden opportunity to join and affect the global marijuana market. While other countries are building cultivation, manufacturing, and export infrastructure, American operators are still unable to meaningfully participate in international cannabis commerce. With the global cannabis market projected to reach $82.3 billion by 2027, the U.S. risks missing a major economic opportunity unless federal policy changes.

Still, there is reason for optimism. If federal policy evolves to allow exports or broader international participation, U.S. businesses could eventually become significant players in the global cannabis market. The  new federal CBD product initiative offers a potential opening for U.S. businesses to begin participating in international cannabis commerce, even if on a limited scale. Until then, conferences like ICBC Berlin remain an important reminder that the future of cannabis is international.

Whether your U.S. company is looking to invest in a global cannabis operator, you are an international operator looking for U.S. investment, or you simply want to understand where a particular country’s cannabis policies are headed, reach out to Jason Adelstone at jason@harris-sliwoski.com to schedule a time to connect.
