Is the RICO Act a Serious Problem for the Cannabis Industry or Just a Bunch of Smoke?

For a long time, the threat of charges from Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act has been hanging over the heads of cannabis businesses. It now seems more realistic than ever as cases have come up both in Arkansas and California against legitimate cannabis businesses.

It has since been modified to include a wide range of illegal businesses such as slavery, gambling, racketeering, gambling and other illegal activities.
