Pot and Bankruptcy Law, Not a Great Mix
An article posted at JDSUPRA, titled "Even Indirect Income from Cannabis Can Get You Banned From Bankruptcy" notes that "despite widespread trends in state-level legalization and decriminalization of high-THC cannabis and growing acceptance of cannabis among Americans, cannabis and cannabis products remain illegal under federal law". Accordingly, the article states that bankruptcy courts have consistently dismissed cases when a debtor directly engages in violations of the Federal Controlled Substances Act ("CSA") or where the debtor's reorganization efforts depend on proceeds derived from CSA violations.
