Welcome back to Higher Law, our weekly briefing on all things cannabis. I’m Cheryl Miller, reporting for Law.com from Sacramento. May your NCAA brackets enjoy one shining moment.

This week we’re all about CBD and hemp. We talk with a regulatory and compliance attorney for his take on the confusing legal world of CBD-infused foods. And a Colorado hemp company hires some big legal names in its fight to get back a very pricey load of seized product. Plus, Squire Patton Boggs makes it official and registers to lobby for a major cannabis advocacy group.
