Frier Levitt is proud to share that attorneys Edgar J. Asebey, Esq. and Guilherme Ferrari Faviero have published the 2025 Edition of the Legal Guide to the Business of Cannabis and Hemp, providing a timely, authoritative resource for attorneys and business operators navigating the legal cannabis, hemp-derived cannabinoid, and psychedelic medicines industries.
Legal Guide to the Business of Cannabis and Hemp is a practical resource for lawyers working in these fast-evolving industries. The first part offers an integrated overview of the cannabis industry: how federal and state laws interact, how businesses are licensed and operated, how cannabis is cultivated and processed, and how issues related to taxation, banking, product liability, employment, and medical or adult-use markets shape the realities of lawful businesses nationwide.
The second part focuses on hemp and hemp-derived products, covering the federal and state regulatory frameworks for both non-intoxicating products (such as CBD) and intoxicating hemp-derived products (such as Delta-8 THC and similar cannabinoids). The Guide also includes a brief chapter on psychedelic medicines.
