I'm a law student about to graduate and I think the evolving law around cannabis sounds fascinating and has certainly been relevant in my internship experiences with criminal defense (I'm interested in criminal/constitutional litigation primarily) but I LOATHE admin, contracts, business law, etc. Is the majority of cannabis law right now focused on cannabis related business law and administrative law? What areas do you practice in if you are a cannabis lawyer?

Hi OP,

There’s different sides of “cannabis law”. I rep operators. That’s a ton of corporate, M&A, contracts, employment, regulatory. The other side I see are the people who advise non-cannabis companies and individuals on how to comply with legal cannabis use (medical or adult use). Not sure how much longevity or $ comes with the “other side” of cannabis law but it sounds like you wouldn’t like what I do day to day.

Ya know, reflecting on this, you may be interested in the regulatory side. The state AGs who have to implement these programs do have to consider a lot of constitutional issues. The policy maker side might be more of interest. You wouldn’t be able to get entirely away from the business issues that crop up through regulations, but that might be worth looking at.
