Marijuana Legalization

NAR does not have policy on the legalization of marijuana, but provides guidance to property owners/agents about issues to be aware of if state allows marijuana. Conflicts between federal and state law can create difficulties for all types of properties. NAR also supports access to financial institutions for state-legalized businesses.
