They didn't register with the state they registered with the USPTO.

The federal government won’t register cannabis product trademarks due to the federally illegal nature of the product, but many state governments will.

Patent and trademark law is exclusively federal. What L5 is seeking to do is to have the exclusive rights to using "THE HERBAL COLLECTION" on its products.

This is different from obtaining a patent which protects the formulation and blend of the product itself. Even there, the inclusion of Canabis as part of the ingredients may not make it illegal to patent just because its a controlled substance. Example. certain pharmaceutical compositions contain controlled substances but are protected.IMO.
