December Compliance Check: Why Maine Cannabis Businesses Rely on CATLAB, LLC
December is a critical month for Maine’s cannabis industry. As the year winds down, cultivators, manufacturers, and retailers aren’t just closing out inventory — they’re preparing for audits, renewals, and a new year of regulatory expectations.
