Cannabis

Regulatory oversight of the emerging cannabis industry is ever-changing and often uncertain. It requires attorneys who are able to anticipate changes, spot issues early, and provide strategic and tailored guidance to help clients navigate the intricate web of regulations unique to this sector.

Disclaimer: Possessing, using, distributing and/or selling marijuana or marijuana-based products is illegal under federal law, regardless of any state law that may decriminalize such activity under certain circumstances. Although federal enforcement policy may at times defer to states’ laws and not enforce conflicting federal laws, interested businesses and individuals should be aware that compliance with state law in no way assures compliance with federal law, and there is a risk that conflicting federal laws may be enforced in the future. No legal advice we give is intended to provide any guidance or assistance in violating federal law.
