Federal Cannabis Disclosure

This page describes the federal legal status of cannabis, the scope of services that Orqestra LLC (operating as Unify) provides, and the responsibilities of the operators and contractors who use the platform. It is informational only and is not legal advice.

1. Federal status of cannabis

Cannabis (marijuana) is classified as a Schedule I controlled substanceunder the federal Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 812). It remains illegal under federal law, regardless of state legalization. Nothing on Unify changes that federal classification.

2. What Unify is — and what it is not

Unify is a software platform that connects independent workers with state-licensed cannabis businesses for labor services such as trimming, packaging, cultivation, and harvest.

Unify is not a cannabis seller, distributor, transporter, cultivator, manufacturer, or retailer. We do not:

• buy, sell, ship, store, package, label, process, or manufacture cannabis or cannabis products at any stage;
• take possession of cannabis or cannabis products at any stage;
• facilitate cannabis transactions between operators and consumers.

All cannabis-related activity happens entirely on the operator's licensed premises, under the operator's cannabis license, governed by the operator's compliance program.

3. Operator responsibility

Every operator on Unify must hold a current, valid cannabis business license issued by the New Mexico Cannabis Control Division (NM CCD). Operators are independently responsible for:

• Maintaining their license in good standing;
• Compliance with all state and local cannabis laws and regulations;
• Workplace safety, employee training (where applicable), and on-site supervision of all work performed on their premises;
• Tax obligations, including the New Mexico state cannabis excise tax;
• Reporting requirements to NM CCD.

4. Contractor responsibility

Contractors who accept shifts at licensed cannabis facilities through Unify acknowledge that:

• They are independent contractors and are not employees of Unify or of the operator (see Terms of Service, Section 4);
• They are responsible for their own compliance with state-mandated worker requirements, including being 21 years of age or older, completing a background check, and holding an employer-sponsored cannabis worker badge as required by NM CCD rules;
• Federal cannabis prohibition may affect things such as federal employment, federal benefits eligibility, federal firearms eligibility, and immigration status. Unify does not provide legal advice on any of these matters.

5. Geographic scope

Unify operates exclusively in New Mexico, where cannabis is regulated under the Cannabis Regulation Act (NMSA 26-2C). We do not facilitate cannabis-related work in jurisdictions where the underlying activity is illegal.

6. Banking and payments

Federal cannabis prohibition affects banking and payment processing for cannabis businesses. Unify uses payment processors and banking partners that comply with FinCEN's 2014 guidance on cannabis-related businesses.

Subscription payments for Unify Pro flow through standard payment rails because they are charges for software, not for cannabis products.

7. No federal preemption claim

Nothing on Unify is intended to encourage violation of federal law. We operate in a state where cannabis is legal under state law, and we acknowledge the federal-state conflict openly. State legalization does not preempt federal law, and we make no claim to the contrary.

8. No legal advice

This page is informational only and is not legal advice. Operators and contractors should consult their own attorneys for guidance on their specific situations, including but not limited to licensing, employment classification, tax treatment, federal benefits, firearms eligibility, and immigration status.

9. Reservation of rights

Unify reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate state cannabis law or that present risk to the platform's compliance posture, including but not limited to lapsed licensure, unreported regulatory action, or activity that falls outside the scope of state-legal cannabis work.
