Emerging Opportunities in the Cannabis Law Industry and Related Ethics with Jason Beahm [LGE 040]

Although it is relatively new, the cannabis industry is already seeing a boom in startups and businesses looking to capitalize on this new-found legalization (in certain states). With this growth comes a wave of lawyers looking to build name recognition in this niche practice area. 

In order to grow a successful cannabis law practice, it’s important to understand the legal and ethical issues associated with practicing cannabis law.  Joining me to share his experience and insight as a cannabis lawyer is Jason Beahm. Jason is a criminal defense attorney with several offices across California.  

What We Discuss in This Episode:

  • What is cannabis law and how can you, as a lawyer, break into that practice area?
  • How to deal with the stigma associated with working in this industry?
  • What affect have recent changes in cannabis law had on other sectors like finance?
  • Should lawyers be able to advise clients on violations of law?
  • How can lawyers walk the fine line between state and federal law if there is disharmony between the two?
  • When advising clients, what should you know about accounting and investing?
  • What does the future hold for this industry?
  • Will special events organizers be able to apply for permits to allow cannabis on the premises?
  • How past marijuana convictions will be handled moving forward?
