Cannabis Law

Consultation
 
 

Get the legal expertise you need to grow your California business.

The legalization of cannabis in the State California for recreational use since 2016, as well as for medical use since 1996, has cleared the path for this innovative industry to flourish. However, very strict regulations at the local, state, and federal level, demand that business owners keep extensive records, meet numerous reporting conditions, and maintain difficult-to-acquire licenses. Starting, running, and growing a cannabis business will almost certainly require the assistance of qualified legal professionals.

Our focus

We have extensive knowledge of the laws and regulatory bodies that govern cannabis businesses in California. Our attorney and staff are prepared to give you the support you need to minimize liabilities and ensure compliance with evolving legislation throughout your operations.

Licensing and business plans for microbusinesses and cultivators

We help small operators thrive, conducting a lawful and successful cannabis business in the State of California.

As a microbusiness you may act (in part or whole) as a retailer, distributor, manufacturer and cultivator (on an area less than 10,000 sq. ft.). In order to apply for this type of license, you must engage in at least three (3) of these commercial activities:

  • Retailer (non-storefront)

  • Distributor (transport only)

  • Cultivation (less than 10,000 sq. ft.)

  • Manufacturer (Level 1, Type 6).

We can help evaluate your business and obtain the licenses you need to ensure that your business is compliant with local regulations.

 
 

Marihuana DUI Criminal Defense

If have been charged or arrested for driving under the influence of marihuana, we might be able to help you.

While recreational use of marihuana is legal in California, it is still considered a criminal offense across the United States to operate a motor vehicle when your driving ability is impaired from being under the influence of marihuana.

In California, the penalties for DUI of marihuana are practically identical to DUI of alcohol. However, unlike alcohol, with marihuana, there is no established limit of concentration the driver can have in his or her blood. There is an ongoing debate about whether and to what extent marihuana impairs a person’s driving ability. This allows for more opportunities to challenge a DUI marihuana charge in court.
