National Cannabis Industry Association

National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA) is the oldest and largest national trade association representing the legal cannabis industry in the United States, including both cannabis and hemp-related businesses. Founded in 2010, NCIA serves nearly 2,000 member businesses and tens of thousands of industry professionals. Based in Washington, D.C. and Denver, Colorado, the organization advocates for policy reform, fair taxation, banking access, and responsible business practices. NCIA publishes policy reports, hosts events like the National Cannabis Summit, and coordinates industry lobbying efforts. It includes a dedicated Hemp Committee that supports low‑THC industrial hemp markets. Recent highlights include advocacy for anti-280E tax relief, opposition to bans on hemp-derived THC, and support for rescheduling cannabis to Schedule III.
