Welcome back to Higher Law, our weekly briefing on all things cannabis. I’m Cheryl Miller, reporting for Law.com from Sacramento.

This week, we talk to Coleen Klasmeier, a partner in Sidley Austin‘s Washington, D.C. office, about what to expect from the FDA’s public hearing Friday on CBD. Plus, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s top counsel says states must open their borders to interstate hemp shipments. And the Arizona Supreme Court says medical marijuana means more than just dried flower.
