In the Legislative Weeds with Cannabis Show Cause - A Memphis Law Podcast

Marijuana and cannabis-based products are everywhere these
days.

Even in states like Tennessee, where marijuana and THC-derived
products are still recreationally and medically illegal, weed is still making
waves, both legislatively and from a consumer perspective.

Here in Tennessee, the most recent to-do about marijuana
centers around Delta-8, which is sort of the gentler, and more importantly, legal, cousin of your traditional marijuana.

More and more states across the country are legalizing the
once scary drug, gaining huge sums of money in the form of taxes and fees at the same time. At the same time, more than 14 states have either banned weed-adjacent things like Delta-8, so it is understandably a very confusing time for anyone looking at the larger state of affairs in the cannabis industry.

In an effort to understand the market and legal landscape a
bit better, I’ve invited Stephen Galoob, a professor at the University of Tulsa College of Law on to the show today to go into a bit more depth about how states are regulating the marijuana market and how the landscape is changing across the country, at both the state and federal levels. From the effects of criminal record expungement in states like Minnesota to the jobs created by the marijuana industry, we touch on a lot of interesting points across the weed spectrum.
