Publisher's Synopsis
Currently thirty three states and Washington, D.C. have legalized marijuana for medical use while eleven states and Washington, D.C. have legalized marijuana for adult or recreational use. The practice of Cannabis Law is becoming increasingly popular and complex as more states pass laws regarding its use, cultivation, and distribution.
Still more states have various nuances associated with their cannabis regulatory regimes, including allowing the use of medical marijuana as an affirmative defense, decriminalization and exceptions for CBD oil. This material is often available piecemeal and has not consistently provided an overview of the issues relevant in individual states.
With The State of Cannabis Law, the authors have sought to create a desk reference to provide a meaningful overview to assist industry participants in obtaining a snapshot of a state's regulatory regime surrounding cannabis as well as guideposts in conducting further research.
Some of the exciting topics exclusively covered in The State of Cannabis Law: state laws with respect to marijuana and hemp, vital information about key ancillary issues such as intellectual property, real estate, and tax implications.
