Although twenty-nine states legally approve the use of medical marijuana for distribution, businesses associated with it still find themselves operating in something of a grey area these days when it comes to the law. The problem stems from the fact that marijuana remains classified as a Schedule 1 controlled substance at the federal level. However, there may be a major change coming by the end of 2024 because of the potential reclassification of the drug from I to III. As for now, the medical marijuana industry faces several unique challenges, particularly in the area of providing security for dispensaries.
As with other drugs and pharmaceuticals, a substantial black market for marijuana persists due to its illegality. Medical marijuana dispensaries, therefore, run a significantly higher risk of being targeted for theft, robbery, and burglary much greater than many other businesses.
You must put your security concerns in the hands of professionals, regardless of what your needs may be. However, the necessity becomes even greater in situations such as those faced by the medical marijuana industry. Just as dangerous as the would-be criminal on the street can be the new security provider trying to exploit an industry that faces obstacles in obtaining reliable services.
