Welcome back to Higher Law, our weekly briefing on all things cannabis. I'm Cheryl Miller, reporting for Law.com from Sacramento. Happy St. Patrick's Day. I'll leave the Highrish jokes to you.

This week we're looking at:

  • Cannabis CEOs' lobbying trip to D.C.
  • A bill to expand medical marijuana sales in California.
  • Carstens & Cahoon's bid for sanctions against Cooley.
  • The departure of L.A.'s top cannabis regulator.

Higher Law will be on spring break next week. We'll be back on March 31, so please keep the feedback and story ideas coming. Drop me a line at [email protected]. You can call me, too, at 916.448.2935. Follow me on Twitter @capitalaccounts.
