Total Tier 1 cannabis-related business records grew by 112, and beneficial owner records added 27. #### Tier 1 Cannabis-Related Business Counts Weekly Summary: 94,205 1A CRBs + 5,095 1B CRBs = 99,300 total ### 1A CRBs *![1A CRB-120825](https://www.crbmonitor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1A%20CRB-120825.png?width=468&height=281&name=1A%20CRB-120825.png) Tier 1A defined: Businesses in this tier literally touch the cannabis plant at some point along the supply chain from "seed to sale," and are generally licensed by a government agency or regulator. Effectively all of their actual or expected revenue is derived from the cultivation, production, testing or sale of cannabis. * ### 1B CRBs  *![1B CRB-120825](https://www.crbmonitor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1B%20CRB-120825.png?width=468&height=279&name=1B%20CRB-120825.png) Tier 1B defined: Businesses that have a financial or controlling interest in a Tier 1A CRB. CRB Monitor generally considers 1B businesses as seemingly unrelated businesses highlighted as red flags by FinCEN in its marijuana banking guidance and are similar in nature to individual beneficial owners. * ### Cannabis Business Licenses *![CBL-120825](https://www.crbmonitor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CBL-120825.png?width=468&height=305&name=CBL-120825.png) Note: Inactive licenses, unlicensed, and unknown licenses have been excluded.* ### Beneficial Owners Count *![BOR-120825](https://www.crbmonitor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BOR-120825.png?width=468&height=292&name=BOR-120825.png) Beneficial owners defined: For beneficial owners, each economic owner or controlling person is classified into one or more categories based on their relationship to the linked CRB including: (1) Owner/Investor, (2) Board Member, (3) Corporate Officer, (4) Executive, (5) Non-commercial Registered Agent or (6) Senior Manager.  * [Schedule Demo to See Full Database > ](https://cta-service-cms2.hubspot.com/web-interactives/public/v1/track/click?encryptedPayload=AVxigLJD1yIF1IrCC2%2B2U0eNWdHj6Sn9vXOR%2FbensQH28M8tEuLHksMU8Vi2EfB5Iij5cm8TYEvDap1UvVsxxnrsM7e8Qun%2BCHYY8f5zRaS%2FZssISKgwXZpl4fSQ5%2F8%2BP0HO4q%2F%2B4c8HWm9fTboTa%2BXBCqbwZ3NxsEvKa6gzqh2KX%2BBBAYg8a0tSzFGlpsZec0b6yMlxb6ymGT%2FjkmT49lwU9Mcwsw%3D%3D&portalId=6526999) ## Cannabis News of Note A selection of relevant cannabis-related news.  #### Adverse Media [Maine Orders Recall of Cannabis Flower Products Due to Mold, Arsenic](https://ganjapreneur.com/maine-orders-recall-of-cannabis-flower-products-due-to-mold-arsenic/) #### Litigation [Nebraska Supreme Court hears argument to cancel medical marijuana legalization](https://mjbizdaily.com/nebraska-supreme-court-hears-argument-to-cancel-medical-marijuana-legalization/) [Investors In Pot Co.
