The National Association of Cannabis Businesses said it will cease operations by July 31 because of the difficult economic conditions.
The Wisconsin-based NACB, which was founded in 2017, was a national association for cannabis growers, business owners, suppliers and CBD or hemp affiliates.
“Due to current economic conditions, the decision has been made to cease operations of NACB,” the group said in an email and on its website.
The organization focused on developing national standards for the cannabis industry in a wide range of areas, including hemp, product testing, cash management, cybersecurity and sustainability.
