Cannabis legalization is a voting issue. Undoubtedly, the legalization of marijuana will shape the 2020 election. With the economic fallout from the coronavirus crisis and social unrest following the murder of George Floyd by police, cannabis legalization will bring people to the polls this November. Calls for criminal justice reform and states looking to close budget gaps due to COVID-19 are more likely to consider the tax benefits of creating a newly legalized industry. Nowadays, my answer to everything is to vote. When you look at a candidate, think about whether he or she supports the modernization of cannabis laws, because that will tell you an awful lot about how they view issues associated with racism, immigration, taxes, banking, and more.

People always are asking me for my legal opinion. During the coronavirus crisis, the trend has been exponentially magnified. In this no-holds-barred podcast, I take the opportunity to share with you my personal and unique insights about schools reopening, insurance law and estate planning matters, and how to thread the needle when it comes to education and safety.

Recent events involving the killing of black men by police have sparked calls for reform in the criminal justice system across the country. My law firm's very own John Mulvihill, a former prosecutor in the State Attorney’s office, talks about the high-profile cases playing out in the media and criminal justice system. Cannabis and racism are two big concepts that are closely connected. African Americans and whites use marijuana at the same frequency, yet you’re four times more likely to go to jail for using marijuana if you’re a person of color. We must reverse the systematic issues that lead to mass incarcerations of African Americans while eliminating police violence.

Does personal protective equipment (PPE) prevent someone from contracting COVID-19? Masks consistently cut infection rates, according to numerous studies. Anything from a surgical mask to an N95 mask reduces the risk of transmitting coronaviruses. In this interview, Dr. Radley Griffin discusses recent data surrounding COVID-19 and PPE. Dr. Griffin, a Board-Certified Family Physician and Founder of Griffin Concierge Medical, talks about the role and benefits masks play in fighting the coronavirus pandemic. To date, CBTG has donated nearly 5,000 N95 masks to individuals, organizations, and businesses throughout the U.S. If you are in need of masks, email Corless Barfield Trial Group at service@corlessbarfield.com.
