What is the best way to apply for trademark protection on cannabis products or services? This presentation reviews the current state of the law, discusses the particularities of state and federal applications, walks through the methods trademark attorneys and trademark owners are using to apply for protection, and reviews the ethical issues to be aware of in the process. This presentation was first offered by James Creedon, Creedon PLLC (www.creedonpllc.com) at the 2018 Intellectual Property Law Seminar and Midyear Meeting of the Intellectual Property Law Section of the Oklahoma Bar Association.
This document argues that marijuana should be legalized for several reasons. It notes that over 100 million Americans have tried cannabis, yet it remains illegal and criminalized. Legalizing marijuana would remove the criminal status for millions of users, generate tax revenue, and free up law enforcement resources to focus on serious crimes. The document also argues that public health would not be harmed by legalization, citing research showing marijuana is less harmful than alcohol and its legalization has not increased usage rates in other countries. Workplace safety would also not be impacted, as drug testing and bans could still be enforced.
The document discusses reasons why a local cannabis dispensary should be allowed in Sonoma. It argues that dispensaries provide essential services to patients, help regulate the market, and do not increase crime rates. Research shows dispensaries have fewer robberies than other businesses and their presence is not linked to higher crime. The document also discusses regulations around dispensary security, potential economic benefits, and evidence that legal cannabis has not negatively impacted traffic safety.
The document summarizes some of the major legal issues surrounding the regulation of marijuana as more U.S. states legalize its use. It discusses challenges for banks in dealing with marijuana businesses given federal prohibitions, ethical obstacles for lawyers, employment law considerations, and implications under the Americans with Disabilities Act. A key Colorado court case found that employers do not need to accommodate medical marijuana use by employees. The legal status of marijuana remains complex with divergence between some state and federal laws.

This document summarizes key Supreme Court cases related to Congress's power to regulate interstate commerce under the Commerce Clause of the US Constitution. It discusses early 20th century cases that established Congress can regulate intrastate activities that substantially affect interstate commerce like Wickard v. Filburn. Later cases upheld civil rights and healthcare laws, while others placed limits, finding certain activities like growing marijuana for personal use were not economic in nature.
The Bureau of Cannabis Control released new regulations for California's legal marijuana industry. The 276-page document sets limits on THC levels in edibles and establishes rules around packaging, labeling, licensing, and where cannabis can be consumed. Medical marijuana patients will face lower taxes than recreational users and have higher THC limits. The regulations go into effect on January 1 and allow for temporary business licenses to be issued starting in December.
To address the rapid increase in crime associated with the marijuana industry, MPSI will focus on providing armed and unarmed security for retail and grow operations, inventory and revenue transport, compliance oversight and workplace protection to the medical and adult use cannabis industry in all current and future marijuana legal markets.

It summarizes data from Colorado and Washington, the first U.S. states to legalize cannabis, which shows both a small increase and a doubling in the percentage of drivers involved in fatal crashes who recently used marijuana. However, the data is limited and inconclusive. It argues that establishing per se drug limits and effective enforcement of impaired driving laws will be important for maintaining road safety as legalization occurs in Canada.

Chato liquid acquisition strategies for exploration missions current status 2010David Chato
NASA is developing propulsion systems for future exploration missions to the Moon that will use cryogenic propellants like liquid oxygen and methane. These propulsion systems require delivering the propellants in a vapor-free manner from storage tanks to engines. NASA has started testing liquid acquisition devices (LADs) that use fine mesh screens to manage cryogenic propellants. Recent tests measured the bubble point pressures of screens with liquid methane and investigated heat retention. Upcoming work will continue testing LADs with other cryogens like liquid hydrogen and studying effects of microgravity conditions.

SB 10-109 requires patients to undergo a physical examination to receive a medical marijuana recommendation and prohibits doctors from being compensated by dispensaries. HB 10-128 allows municipalities to regulate medical marijuana facilities through zoning and licensing and gives them the authority to prohibit dispensaries. It establishes a dual state-local licensing system for medical marijuana centers, cultivation facilities, and product manufacturers. Key provisions include residency requirements, background checks, quantity limits, and an emphasis on tracking medical marijuana from cultivation to sale.
Cannabis Legal & Business Issues for Employers & Employees (Series: Cannabis ...Financial Poise
There is no shortage of legal issues and regulations about which employers and employees must be aware. And with the introduction of state-legalized cannabis products for both medicinal and adult use, the legal landscape governing these relationships has become even more complicated. Thankfully, you have our panel of experts to help you navigate some of the key issues surrounding cannabis from the perspectives of both employers and employees. In this episode, we’ll address numerous issues, including recent changes to state laws regarding medical and adult-use cannabis; best practices for drug testing (and being tested); dealing with employees who are registered users of medical marijuana; and navigating “drug-free workplace” rules for federal contractors, among others.

This document summarizes California's evolving regulations around medical cannabis and the eventual legalization of adult-use cannabis. It outlines key bills like MMRSA that created a licensing system for commercial cannabis activities, allowing "local control" to ban such operations. It describes the licensing categories for cultivation, manufacturing, testing, distribution and retail. Local bans on dispensaries in Fresno County meant patients had to travel long distances or rely on deliveries from unlicensed operators. Proposition 64 in 2016 legalized adult-use cannabis and incorporated the licensing framework, giving localities power to regulate non-medical cannabis businesses.
This document outlines regulations for marijuana licensing in Boulder County, Colorado. It begins by describing the relevant state laws and constitutional provisions that authorize counties to permit and regulate marijuana businesses.
The purpose of these regulations is to authorize and regulate marijuana businesses in unincorporated areas of Boulder County according to state law. It establishes licensing standards and procedures to protect public health and safety.
The regulations define key terms, establish effective dates and applicability, describe the relationship to other laws, and authorize a Marijuana Licensing Authority to issue various types of marijuana business licenses according to the application process and requirements outlined.
This document provides a policy recommendation for the State of Colorado regarding grey market practices in the state's medical and recreational marijuana markets. It conducted interviews with stakeholders and examined local regulations and policies. The document finds that the disparity in tax rates between the medical and recreational markets has led to a growth in the grey market. It recommends two policy options: adopting Fort Collins' regulatory approach or tightening regulations for caregivers to close loopholes and curtail grey market activity. Adopting either of these recommendations could help fuse the two marijuana markets and reduce illicit practices.

Beware of Marijuana Stocks
Now that Colorado has legalized marijuana for recreational use, should you jump in with both feet or beware of marijuana stocks. We are, by the way, discussing investment in marijuana related businesses and not your own recreational use! Is there money to be made investing in marijuana stocks? Fundamental analysis of these stocks is, well, fundamental. Marijuana is legal for medical use in California and New York may also make medical marijuana legal. Colorado is the first to legalize the plant for recreational use but others may follow. Which businesses will be profitable and which will be able to scale up when the opportunity arises? But, before looking at a couple of stocks, here is a bit about the law in Colorado.
Colorado Marijuana Use Law
Colorado has two sets of laws regarding marijuana. These have to do with recreational use and medical use.
Colorado Amendment 64 states:
Adults aged twenty-one or older can grow up to three immature and three mature cannabis plants privately in a locked space, legally possess all cannabis from the plants they grow (as long as it stays where it was grown), legally possess up to one ounce of cannabis while traveling, and give as a gift up to one ounce to other citizens 21 years of age or older. Consumption is permitted in a manner similar to alcohol, with equivalent offenses proscribed for driving. Public consumption remains illegal. Amendment 64 also provides for licensing of cultivation facilities, product manufacturing facilities, testing facilities, and retail stores.
This law allows for sales of marijuana for recreational use, taxation of profits from these facilities, and various ordinances relating to such establishments. It is the potential for profit from recreational use of marijuana that is of primary interest for those investing in marijuana stocks. Beware of marijuana stocks that do not comply with the law in Colorado.
California's legalization of medical marijuana in 1996 led other states to follow suit. Colorado legalized medical marijuana in 2000 and recreational use in 2012. In 2016, California voters passed Proposition 64, legalizing recreational use and joining Colorado and Washington. California aims to convert the marijuana industry into a legal, tax-paying system generating $1B in tax revenue annually. Lawmakers will develop regulations over the next year and a half to allow businesses to profit within the legal system and curb the black market. The system will likely mirror the three-tier alcohol distribution model with small cultivators and retailers connected through a few large distributors to ensure regulation, taxation and product safety.
Cannabis: The Next Frontier that Could Impact Your PracticeJames Creedon
March 29, 2019 update on the federal and Texas laws applicable to the cannabis industry — presented to the March 2019 General Meeting of the Collin County Bar Association.
This document proposes legislation to legalize marijuana in Maine. It would allow adults 21 and older to possess and use marijuana. It establishes a regulatory system for marijuana businesses including cultivation facilities, product manufacturers, testing facilities, stores, and social clubs. It allows municipalities to regulate the number and location of marijuana businesses and ban them if desired. The proposal levies a 10% sales tax and tasks the Department of Agriculture with regulation. It is estimated to generate millions in tax revenue for the state and local governments and reduce criminal justice system costs.
Rhode Island Approves Recreational Cannabis LawsCannabis News
The Rhode Island State Senate approved legislation to legalize recreational cannabis use. The bill passed with a 29-9 vote, allowing adults 21 and older to possess up to one ounce of marijuana and cultivate up to six cannabis plants for personal use. A regulatory commission will now be established to regulate cannabis businesses and collect tax revenue from sales. The new law also provides for expungement of criminal records related to possession of small amounts of marijuana.

2019.05.03 Cannabis Law presentation to the Dallas Bar AssociationJames Creedon
This document summarizes a presentation on cannabis law. It discusses the rapid growth of the cannabis industry in the US and increasing public support for legalization. It reviews the current legal status of cannabis under federal and Texas law, noting that marijuana remains illegal but definitions of hemp and CBD are evolving. It also outlines various legal practice areas and ethical issues that lawyers should be aware of regarding cannabis such as banking, employment law, intellectual property and assisting clients without aiding criminal plans.
Amendment 64 would make Colorado the first state to legalize marijuana. It would allow adults 21 and older to possess up to an ounce of marijuana and grow up to six plants for personal use. A system would regulate and tax marijuana like alcohol. Colorado farmers could also grow hemp for various products. However, some oppose legalization, believing it would make marijuana more accessible to teens. Supporters argue research shows legalization would not increase teen use. Colorado voters will decide in November on this debate over legalizing marijuana.
The organic growth of the cannabis industry in therock73
This document discusses the growth of the legal cannabis industry in the United States and the conflicts between state and federal laws that have curtailed its potential. It provides details on how states like Colorado, Washington, and California have legalized cannabis for medical or recreational use and generated billions in tax revenues, but federal prohibition has prevented the cannabis sector from reaching its full economic potential and has caused regulatory uncertainty. The conflict between international drug treaties and domestic state laws is also discussed.
1) Colorado has seen a decrease in tax revenue from medical marijuana but an increase in revenue from recreational marijuana, as medical cannabis is cheaper.
2) Medical marijuana cardholders can possess more cannabis and are generally younger than the minimum age for recreational use.
3) While medical marijuana may divert some consumers, the threat to recreational tax revenue is not as large as initially thought since many medical users genuinely need it for health reasons rather than just to avoid taxes. Recreational revenue continues to rise in Colorado.

- Colorado voters passed Amendment 64 in 2012 legalizing limited personal and retail marijuana use. The state legislature passed bills to regulate retail marijuana and submit sales and excise tax questions to voters.
- Municipalities must enact local ordinances to regulate retail marijuana establishments by October 1st unless opting out. The state will issue conditional licenses between 45-90 days while awaiting local approval.
- HB 13-1317 establishes the regulatory framework and licensing process for retail marijuana, requiring both state and local approval to operate. Municipalities can choose to require local licensing for additional local control.

Amendment 64 would produce $60 million in new revenue and savings for ColoradoJesse Budlong
This paper explores the state and local government budget impact of Amendment 64. Using the latest research and best available estimates of consumption and price, this analysis concludes that Amendment 64 would, in the years prior to 2017 generate over $32 million in new revenue for the state budget, over $14 million in new revenue for local governments and would result in savings of more than $12 million in state and local law enforcement spending. Of the new state dollars, Amendment 64 would direct $24 million to the Building Excellent Schools Today (BEST) program that would result in the creation of 372 new jobs in cities and towns across Colorado with 217 of those jobs in the construction industry.

IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT marijuana has been part of the conversation in Colorado for so many years. As a pioneer in this arena, the state and local governments continue to provide oversight for the industry, but there are always new issues to consider and additional areas for improvement. This Knowledge Now paper provides an update to the papers released in May 2013 and June 2010 on several outstanding marijuana issues.
Marijuana by the numbers
By now, most Colorado municipalities have exercised their authority to either license or prohibit sales in their community. CML tracks these local marijuana actions in several spreadsheets available at www.cml.org, under Issues > Marijuana, and keeps marijuana ordinances on file. Overall,
53 municipalities are allowing, 181 are prohibiting or have moratoria in place, and 27 are taxing retail marijuana establishments in their community.
Many communities took advantage of the opportunities provided by the November elections to either refer a prohibition question to voters during this general election as permitted by Amendment 64 and/or a TABOR question to voters to levy a marijuana tax. Colo. Const. Art. XVIII, § 16 (5)(f). Seventeen municipalities asked their voters whether to allow marijuana sales, and three opted to allow medical marijuana sales, four will allow retail marijuana sales, and twelve will prohibit retail marijuana sales. Twenty municipalities had tax measures on the sale of retail marijuana, only four of which failed. Several of those communities authorized a floating tax within a range that may be adjusted without an election by the town board or city council. See related section below on State Marijuana Revenues and the Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights
Regulating marijuana grows
for personal use
Marijuana home grows have sparked growing concern since the passage of medical and retail marijuana in Colorado. Every community faces the issue of home grows regardless of whether a municipality allows medical and/or retail marijuana sales. The Colorado Constitution allows for a marijuana patient to grow six plants per person for their medicine or an adult twenty-one years of age or older to have six plants per person for recreational use. Colo. Const. Art. XVIII, § 14 (4)(a) (II) and § 16 (3)(b). Six plants per person can become a large grow operation when several adults are living together. There is also an exception in the Medical Marijuana Amendment for a patient or his/her care-giver to grow more than six plants if they are “medically necessary”. Colo. Const. Art. XVIII, § 14(4)(b).1
Several municipalities continue to rely upon their fire code, building code, and

land use authority to regulate marijuana home grows. Others have adopted regulations targeted to curb large residential marijuana grows. Here
are some types of restrictions for
further consideration:
• Limit personal marijuana grows
to one’s primary residence.
• Limit grows to single family dwellings rather than multifamily structures.
• Cap the number of plants per residence regardless of the number of adults or patient’s condition that the plants serve.
• Restrict the number of plants per square or cubic foot or limit square footage in which marijuana may
be grown.
• Define the types of lights that
are allowed.
• Allow grows inside the primary dwelling rather than outside or
in a garage, outdoor shed, or accessory dwelling.
• Prohibit odors from being detected by neighboring properties.
• Set forth procedures for inspection of personal grows.
• Declare that cultivating marijuana in a manner that does not comply with local regulations constitutes a nuisance that can be abated.
CML had previously advised municipalities to define the term “enclosed, locked space” where one may grow recreational marijuana because that term, while used in Amendment 64, was defined neither in

2. Amendment 64 nor statute until earlier in 2014. HB 14-1122 requires any person growing marijuana in a residence where a person under
21 years of age resides to grow in an “enclosed” space, which means, “A permanent or semi-permanent area covered and surrounded on all sides. Temporary opening of windows or doors or the temporary removal of wall or ceiling panels does not convert the area into an unenclosed space.” C.R.S. § 18-18-102(14.5). The new law further defines a “locked space” as secured at all points of ingress and egress with a locking mechanism designed to limit access such as with a key or combination lock.” C.R.S. § 18-18-102(16.5). A municipality should not have to further define this term in its local ordinance unless there is some other concern this definition does not address.
CML has collected local ordinances regulating marijuana home grows. To view the ordinances, visit www.cml.org or to request copies, contact CML Staff Attorney Rachel Allen at rallen@cml.org, 303-831-6411, or 866-578-0936.
Production of hash oil
Another cause for concern has been the personal production of marijuana extracts, concentrates, and hash oil. Some communities have passed ordinances to regulate the use of flammable gases in the production of marijuana concentrates while others have relied upon their building safety codes to regulate the unlicensed production of marijuana extracts. Legislation adding a prohibition on hash oil extraction to state statute is expected in the 2015 session.
CML has collected local ordinances regulating the recreational use of flammable gases in the production of marijuana concentrates. To view the ordinances, visit www.cml.org or to request copies, contact CML Staff Attorney Rachel Allen at rallen@cml.org, 303-831-6411, or 866-578-0936.
Marijuana edibles
Edibles can pose a greater risk for over consumption because the digestion of marijuana causes a delayed onset of the effects, and confusing packaging may lead to people not knowing exactly how much THC they are actually ingesting. There has also been significant concern over the intentional or accidental ingestion of infused products by minors. As required by
HB 14-1366, which was supported by CML, the Marijuana Enforcement Division recently promulgated new rules relating to the labeling and packaging of marijuana edibles as part of an overall update to the rules governing licensed retailers. The
new rules and expanded testing requirements will normalize the
amount and consistency of marijuana found in any edible to ensure that a single serving size has no more than 10 milligrams of active THC, the intoxicating chemical in marijuana. Each serving size will be either individually wrapped or easy to determine one serving within a larger edible product by perforation or other marking. The serving size rule is meant to ensure more safe consumption of edible marijuana. These rules are available at www.colorado.gov/pacific/ enforcement/laws-constitution-statutes- and-regulations-marijuana-enforcement.
Working groups continue to address additional packaging and labeling requirements for marijuana edibles.
Marijuana in the workplace
For the time being, employers may continue to enforce their drug-free workplace policy despite the state’s legalization of medical and recreational marijuana. Marijuana in the workplace is only an issue for medical marijuana because Amendment 64, which legalized adult use of marijuana, explicitly allows for employers to restrict marijuana use by employees
by prohibiting use of recreational marijuana whether the employee is
on or off-duty. Colo. Const. Art. XVIII,
§ 16 (6)(a). The prohibition of medical marijuana use by employees is pending review by the Colorado Supreme Court in the Coats v. Dish Network case. There likely will be more clarity once that case is decided, but the employer prevailed in the lower courts. As a result of the Court of Appeals holding from April 2013, Colorado employers may discipline employees for off-duty marijuana use without having to prove on-the-job impairment. CML will update municipal members on the status of medical marijuana in the workplace once the Colorado Supreme Court issues a decision in the Coats case.
Of course, the outcome in the Coats case will not change the law as applied to commercial driver licensed employees or employees who operate heavy machinery in the course of their employment. Employees who are under the influence of marijuana or using marijuana in the workplace may be disciplined by his/her employer.
State marijuana revenues
The state is grappling with the TABOR implication for marijuana revenues. The state marijuana revenues are subject to the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR), and the current revenue forecast requires that lawmakers will likely have to take some action. The total fiscal year revenue that was estimated at the time voters approved Proposition AA was lower than the actual revenue. This may result in an estimated TABOR refund of all the special sales tax revenue2 in the current and future fiscal years barring voter approval to retain it. In the current fiscal year FY 2014–2015, all
of the $30.5 million estimated to be collected would have to be returned.
