Summary:
"In addition to longstanding questions of federal legality and tension with state law, cannabis companies face a broad range of issues that require sophisticated legal guidance. ... Until now, there has been no single reference to guide cannabis lawyers along the full continuum of potential legal needs challenging the industry. This treatise fills that gap from a sophisticated perspective by flagging key issues in more than a dozen practice areas and covering the impact of cannabis policy from federal and Canadian enforcement and regulatory agencies. By mapping these diverse concerns, this treatise helps provide useful guardrails for in-house and outside counsel alike." --back cover
