G. Marshall-Brooks has gone by many different names in her life, but none of them, she says, really describe who she is.

Reefer Madness

Rapidly changing regulations in the cannabis industry are leaving small businesses behind, and their customers are frustrated.

For a budding market, the recreational cannabis industry in the U.S. has hit some major roadblocks. Small businesses across the country trying to capitalize on the legalization of marijuana in their states now find themselves struggling to stay afloat. New rules, new taxes, a major shift in marijuana's federal classification, and a tightening of hemp regulations have licensed dealers irate.
