What Are You Smoking?

Episode 30: Cannabis Industry Lawyer Deserae Weitmann

In this episode: 

Get ready to lawyer up as Leafly’s in-house legal counsel talks about practicing law in the constantly evolving cannabis industry.

Deserae Abed-Rabbo Weitmann joins Will to talk about why she turned her legal training to the cannabis industry, what the biggest challenges are for lawyers in the space, and what changes she thinks are on the horizon–and which she hopes are coming sooner than later.

She also rather pointedly does not give us any legal advice, so remember that today’s show, as always, is for entertainment purposes only.
