Hillary thank you for this timely article. As a solo practitioner I couldn’t agree with you more. I continually see and hear about the egregious practices going on in the industry and it’s sickening. While my background is in criminal prosecution, I know something about the war on drugs and the devastating impact on people of color. That is why after hanging up my shield and entering the cannabis space, my focus became municipal government and social equity programs. Navigating a 30 year career in muni gov’t gave me a clue as to how they work. I’ve been in the industry since 2017 and quickly learned that social equity was where I wanted to spend my time. Again thank you for speaking so frankly about the problems in the legal profession as it relates to cannabis. Yes I have attended your conferences when held in Santa Monica. Say hi to Griffen please.
