Every company has their own policy and procedures for investments and conflicts of interests. You simply have to check your company’s manual for your level of employment. Follow their guidance and proceed accordingly.

I do believe that this is the right time to get involved in cannabis investing with the right companies and your curiosity has taken you to the right place! The real challenge for many seems to come back to ‘how to get started.’
