Data Sources

• Federal Register -- Federal cannabis policy including DEA scheduling actions, FDA guidance, and agency rulemakings
• Congress Bills -- Cannabis-related federal legislation including SAFE Banking Act, rescheduling bills, and interstate commerce proposals
• OpenCorporates -- Cannabis business entity verification across corporate registries
• BLS Economic Data -- Bureau of Labor Statistics data for state-level market economics and employment indicators

• CFPB Complaints -- Consumer Financial Protection Bureau complaints related to cannabis business banking issues

How the scoring works

Four scoring models address different dimensions of cannabis regulatory risk.

State Regulatory Risk Score (0-100) assesses licensing complexity, tax burden, enforcement intensity, and banking access challenges at the state level using Federal Register actions, enforcement data, and consumer complaints.

Federal Rescheduling Impact Model models the financial impact of potential DEA rescheduling on cannabis operators, including 280E tax relief, banking access improvements, and interstate commerce implications.

MSO Compliance Exposure Map provides portfolio-level risk assessment across multiple state regulatory regimes for multi-state operators, identifying which states contribute most to overall compliance burden.

Market Entry Viability Score evaluates economic capacity, competition density, and regulatory favorability for cannabis market entry decisions by state.

4. Scoring algorithms compute state risk, market viability, and portfolio exposure
5. Structured JSON response with scores, signals, and regulatory data

FAQ

Q: Does this track state-by-state regulations directly? A: It monitors federal regulatory changes and uses economic data to score state-level conditions. State agency website changes are tracked via Website Change Monitor for policy updates.

Q: How current is the federal policy data? A: Federal Register and Congress data is fetched live at query time, reflecting the latest published rulemakings and bill status.

Q: Is it legal to use this? A: All data sources are publicly available US government databases. See Apify's guide on web scraping legality.

Q: Can I track rescheduling progress? A: Yes. The track_federal_cannabis_policy tool monitors DEA and HHS rulemaking activity, congressional rescheduling bills, and Federal Register entries related to cannabis scheduling.

Q: Does this cover hemp and CBD separately? A: You can filter by market segment (recreational, medical, hemp) when calling tools. Federal Register and Congress data covers all cannabis-related policy.
