The cannabis industry presents a number of challenges that make acquiring “out of the box” operational know-how, branding, and other support systems attractive. Between licensing deals and acquisitions, the industry has already seen some savvy operators gain a quasi-national profile. Is franchising a good fit for cannabis and CBD?

Our guest this week is Caroline Fichter. Caroline is a partner at the Bundy Law Firm in Kirkland, Washington, and her practice focuses on franchise law and commercial litigation. As a litigator in an early adopter state, her perspective on the positives and pitfalls of franchising in the cannabis and CBD context is highly valued.

Christian Bax used to regulate medical marijuana and Tony Glover used to regulate alcoholic beverages, casino gaming, and tobacco. With the REGULATED podcast, they tackle the most interesting regulatory, research, and investment developments in those industries and more.

The REGULATED team appeared at Florida A&M University’s College of Agriculture and Food Sciences for a fast-paced discussion of Florida’s legal cannabis and hemp industries. This week, we are sharing the audio from that live session with students and faculty. Available through the regular channels: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Google Play, or Stitcher.

In light of the upcoming holiday, REGULATED is trying something different this week. Everybody Has a Client! is our irreverent look at the proliferation of celebrities in cannabis.

Let’s be honest: it feels like everybody has a cannabis-related client in 2019! First, it was the lobbyists. Then the lawyers and CPAs got in on the action. Now, it seems like every actor, musician, athlete, and former politician has a client, investment, or endorsement related to cannabis, hemp, or CBC. So many big names are flocking to the industry that it’s difficult to separate fact from fiction. Can you?

The rules are simple: you just have to guess whether the named celebrity has a client, investment, or endorsement related to medical marijuana, hemp, and/or CBD. Tweet your score using the #everybodyhasaclient hashtag, especially if you can beat Christian's 7 out of 11.

By popular demand, REGULATED will continue to provide audio of important (and digestible) public statements and testimony related to regulated industry. This week, we are sharing a condensed version of the recent Centers for Disease Control telebriefing on lung injuries associated with e-cigarette use, or vaping. The principal deputy director of the CDC, state epidemiologist at the Illinois Department of Health, and an official from the CDC’s environmental health labs participated in the call, which included a question and answer session.
