Transition period and owner training

Transition period and owner training is a paper-architecture problem. The agency, the tax authority, and the landlord each need a sentence that matches the others. This page is written for owners and buyers and for more than one license class. It is not legal or tax advice.

On Transition period and owner training, the federal overlay is a schedule split, not a national license. Federal Register 2026-08176 moved qualifying medical and FDA-approved marijuana to Schedule III on 28 April 2026. Adult-use marijuana stayed on Schedule I while a DEA hearing record sits with an administrative law judge. That is why IRC §280E still bites adult-use SG&A and why a medical slice can look different after tax.
