With offices in New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, California, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, and Texas, Our next guest on Blunt Business represents a full-service cannabis law firm with a coast-to-coast and global footprint. Vicente Sederberg is supporting the Tri-state area with a full suite of services—legal, corporate, regulatory, policy, and research—for all types of plant-touching marijuana and hemp businesses (cultivators, retailers, extractors, product manufacturers, distributors, and testing labs), ancillary businesses, investors, trade associations, and governmental bodies.Historically, equity investors in the startup and venture capital space have been typically more comfortable dealing with corporations. However, in their experience, they have seen investors become more comfortable investing in LLCs—leading to more and more entrepreneurs electing the LLC structure.There was also an explanation of the licensing process. There are a variety of entity types to choose from, but most cannabis ventures are either a corporation or a limited liability company (LLC). The LLC is the newest type of business entity and provides the most flexibility. Whether the LLC will be operated more similarly to a corporation or a partnership is a decision for each respective LLC's founders.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week’s show is divided into two parts. First, we talk to Shawn Hauser, partner at Vicente Sederberg, a law firm in Denver, Colorado, where she chairs the firm’s Hemp and Cannabinoids Department. Hauser recently penned an opinion piece in Hemp Industry Daily titled “After the Election, Let’s Focus on Fixing the Arbitrary THC Standard in Hemp.” On this week’s show, she gets into the history of the 0.3% limit and why that limit should be raised to 1%. She argues that raising the THC limit to 1% would eliminate most of the regulatory issues around hemp and would ultimately help farmers by removing the risk involved with growing hemp for cannabinoid production. Then we check in with Berks County hemp farmer Ben Davies from Wildfox Provisions. We hear about his growing season and harvest, his work with farmer outreach on the Pennsylvania hemp steering committee, and his upcoming panel discussion at the Pennsylvania Hemp Summit Dec. 8 and 9.

He shares his thoughts on cannabis use throughout the country, effectiveness of current laws and where he sees the future of the industry going.

Times have changed. As the cannabis industry continues to grow, so does the need for cannabis related legal services, only now the focus is on keeping businesses compliant, not keeping them out of jail. Chip sits down with Christian Sederberg of Vicente Sederberg, LLC. a marijuana law firm that helps cannabis businesses stay compliant and keep up with the ever-changing laws and regulations of the legal cannabis industry.

Today on NCIA our host is joined by Andrew Livingston, Director of Economics and Research for Vicente Sederberg LLC. Andrew serves as Director of Economics and Research for Vicente Sederberg LLC. He first worked alongside the Vicente Sederberg team in 2012 during Colorado’s Amendment 64 campaign, which legalized marijuana for adults. Before starting a career in cannabis market and policy analysis, he focused his studies at Colgate University on the economics of illegal drugs and the harms they create for societies around the world. Andrew is often asked to speak at business and legal seminars around the country and internationally on the intersection of market dynamics and cannabis policy.

In 2005, Fox started SAFER, an organization that was critical in laying the groundwork for the campaign that eventually became Amendment 64 in Colorado, which legalized cannabis for adult use. Fox also helped co-found the National Cannabis Industry Association in 2010 with just 30 original members, which has since grown to over 1200+ members.

Brian Vicente of Vicente Sederberg returns for an update on the progression of the cannabis legalization movement.  Brian discusses current thoughts on consumption legislation, what’s happening on the ground in Colorado and key states around the country.  On the one hand we discuss the concept of “first world marijuana problems,” and the potential ‘full-blown’ end to prohibition, but we also discuss the forces still working against legalization and where they might succeed…which is why his song choice at the end of the conversation makes all the sense in the world.  

For our first episode in the double digits, we talk about the strategies and challenges in analyzing legal marijuana markets with guests Andrew Livingston of Vicente Sederberg and Adam Orens of the Marijuana Policy Group, which recently released a first-of-its-kind study on marijuana equivalencies . Drug of the month: Nitrous Oxide, installment #2 (science) News stories: Mexico […] The post Marijuana Market Magic [#10] appeared first on This Week in Drugs.

There is no over-stating of the impact Brian Vicente has had on legal cannabis. As the co-director of the campaign to get Amendment 64 passed (with Mason Tvert) and co-author of the Amendment 64 legislation (with Steve Fox), he was beyond instrumental in opening up the marketplace in Colorado that has sent a ripple-effect across the nation. Vicente recounts his experience working to get this legislation passed, from working with politicians, to what their opposition looked like, to the finer points of campaign strategy. And of course he’s continuing the fight with his work at Vicente Sederberg LLC.

It’s no surprise why Steve Fox is one of the biggest names in cannabis. Boston born and bred, he has been on the front lines of cannabis legalization across the nation since the early days the movement started to gain momentum. After his start working for the Bill Clinton Presidential campaign and getting a law degree from Boston College, he has played in a part in numerous marijuana legalization initiatives, largely through his continued involvement with Marijuana Policy Project. Now with a published book under his belt, and after helping found the NCIA, he is helping cannabis business owners and legislators through his consultancy work at Vicente Sederberg and his efforts for the Council on Responsible Cannabis Regulation. Enjoy!

It's not often that you hear a lawyer say something like "Trust the Universe," but Christian Sederberg isn't your ordinary, average, everyday lawyer.  As one half of Vicente Sederberg Christian was instrumental in the campaign for Amendment 64.  And through his involvement on the Task Force thoughtfully conceived by Gov. Hickenlooper Christian helped shape the landscape of legalized Cannabis. He now chairs the Council on Responsible Cannabis Regulation, sponsor of this episode.
