Before Deciding

When our representatives are making important decisions that impact all of our lives I believe it is important to ask one basic question before making
those decisions,
Is this good for
the children?
Just imagine what our world would be like if that question was asked prior to making decisions about going to war, the environment, education or healthcare.

2. Lauren Mendelsohn, Attorney, talks about the coming of age of cannabis legalization through regulation of businesses after the passage of Proposition 64 in California. Lauren helps cannabis businesses with the permitting and licensing at the local and state levels, while negotiating with people, some in agencies or neighborhood groups, still under the sway of decades of Reefer Madness, and finding legal paths for businesses amidst the obstacles of the Federal government in its refusal to decriminalize the use and cultivation of the plant called cannabis or marijuana. Lauren cites reports that the recent opiod crisis has also demonstrated areas of retreat where cannabis has been legalized for medicinal or adult use..

About our Guest: Lauren Mendelsohn is an associate attorney at the Law Offices of Omar Figueroa, a boutique Northern California-based law firm serving the cannabis industry. She currently focuses on permitting and licensing for cannabis businesses, regulatory compliance, policy advocacy, and post-conviction relief. Lauren earned her J.D. from the University of California, Irvine School of Law and her B.S. from the University of Maryland.
For years, Lauren has been active in the drug policy reform movement. She is the former Chair of the Board of Directors of Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP), an international non-profit organization working to end the “War on Drugs.” She currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Sonoma County Growers Alliance, a local cannabis trade organization.
