Welcome back to Higher Law, our weekly briefing on all things cannabis. I’m Cheryl Miller, reporting for Law.com from Sacramento. Happy new year. Will 2024 be the year of descheduling or rescheduling marijuana? Which figure will be higher: the number of Big Law firms launching cannabis practices or the number of states approving adult-use marijuana? Will we actually see a cannabis banking law emerge from Congress this year? Time to find out.

This week we’re looking at:

  • A Q&A with NJ’s chief cannabis counsel.
  • Reports and legal action in New York and Connecticut.
  • The Trulieve GC’s Move to Dorsey & Whitney.
  • A decade of legalization in Colorado.
