"Legal Mavericks Unleashed: The Texas Cannabis Revolution"
Susan Burns, a cannabis lawyer, interviews Andrea Steel, an attorney with Frost Brown Todd from Texas. Andrea is recognized as one of the premier attorneys in the cannabis space, having worked on landmark cases. Andrea shares her journey into cannabis law, starting her practice just as Texas was launching its program. Intrigued by the legal nuances of state-level cannabis legalization violating federal law, she was also driven by personal experiences, having overcome adversities as an at-risk youth and believing in the medicinal benefits of cannabis.
Andrea discusses her transition into cannabis law, including the pivotal moment when she informed her former firm about launching a cannabis practice. She became the leader of the cannabis group, emphasizing the importance of not asking for permission, especially as a woman in a conservative industry.
The conversation then delves into Andrea's experiences with hemp law, particularly in Texas. Andrea sheds light on a significant case involving Delta-8 THC, a compound found in hemp, and the legal challenges faced. The discussion touches on the intricacies of hemp regulations, the definition of hemp, and the impact of federal and state rules on the industry.
The podcast episode provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of cannabis law, the challenges faced by attorneys in this field, and the intersection of legal, regulatory, and personal perspectives. Andrea's passion for the industry and her commitment to advocating for fair and clear regulations shine through in the conversation.
