Description

Cannabis Law and Policy offers a comprehensive, doctrinal, and interdisciplinary analysis of how cannabis law intersects with constitutional, criminal, civil, and administrative legal systems in the United States. It draws from real-world case law, evolving statutory frameworks, and expert instruction across 13 structured chapters suitable for legal education and professional practice.

This book is structured from an actual law school course developed and taught by the author, a retired judge and national cannabis law expert. It provides readers with a foundational-to-advanced legal treatment of marijuana's evolving role in American courts—from the Marihuana Tax Act and Controlled Substances Act to cutting-edge litigation on gun rights, youth regulation, employment law, banking, and tribal jurisdiction. The book integrates live doctrinal teaching tools, case excerpts, and weekly lecture materials in one comprehensive volume.

It is designed to meet the needs of JD instruction, continuing legal education (CLE), and undergraduate cannabis-studies programs and certificate curricula. This work offers a comprehensive, authoritative resource for law students and faculty; undergraduate students and professors in cannabis programs; judges, attorneys, and CLE providers; drug-policy analysts and public health advocates; and practitioners engaged in science and research, civil rights, housing, employment, and criminal justice. Its breadth and clarity position it as a foundational text for classrooms, professional development, and applied practice in the rapidly evolving field of cannabis law and policy.
