This is the final article in a three-part Compliance Essentials for Hemp-CBD Companies series. I explore commonly overlooked manufacturing, labeling, and marketing essentials that ingestible cannabinoid companies need to be compliant. This third segment focuses on marketing, which is my favorite compliance aspect. Marketing compliance and reading enforcement trends are essential to any regulatory affairs professional, executive, investor, marketing manager, social media supervisor, and sales representative. I love helping companies communicate their marketing messages in a compliant and effective way. This is the core reason I started my consulting company and free Regulatory Education Series.
