- Q. Is marijuana in a recreationally legal state considered illegal if probation states no illegal drugs allowed?
- A: Short answer, no. Unfortunately, the legislature has specifically decided that people who have committed crimes do not deserve one of the safest drugs that is available for treating a number of medical conditions. The provision for medical cannabis specifically calls it out by saying, " Nothing in this chapter diminishes the authority of correctional agencies and departments, including local governments or jails, to establish a procedure for determining when the use of cannabis would impact community safety or the effective supervision of those on active supervision for a criminal conviction, nor does it create the right to any accommodation of any medical use of cannabis in any correctional ...

- Q. Do I need a permit to sell cannabis out a vending machine or does the location where machine will be need the permit?
- A: I think there are a few states that a vending machine could work. However, in most states, recreational or medical, regulations favor that a human check the customers I.D. (for recreational use) or their authorization to use cannabis (medical use) and confirm the person purchasing the product is the same one providing the identification. In addition, the machine will likely have to integrate with the store's point of sale. This, coupled with the limited capacity, could make vending machines prohibitively expensive. But, to answer your question, you would likely be selling to stores, who have a license. You do not need the license to sell the machine. The question to consider is, what state ... Read More
- Q. In a state where cannabis is legal is it legal to mail THC vape cartridges to another state where cannabis is legal?
- A: It is still Federally illegal to ship cannabis or transport it across state lines. Or possess cannabis. Or anything with cannabis. Still all federally illegal. All of it.
The reason this is more of a problem is because you are would be using a Federal service (United States Post Office) to do it. They don't like that. So at best it gets seized. At worst, you get a cranky Postmaster General that sends the seizure to the local Feds. From there, all kinds of problems. Even if you send it via private services (like Fed Ex), they all cooperate and information share with the Postmaster. So it will still get seized and even though prosecution is not always likely, it is still possible. My guess ... Read More
