Nationally Recognized Lawyer on Medical Cannabis in Texas

Motivated by reading mothers’ testimony in support of Texas’ 2015
Compassionate Use Act (CUP), after a 15 year career in commercial
litigation, Lisa Pittman radically changed her trajectory to
focus on the medical cannabis world.  First, she advised LSU
on its role as cultivator/extractor/distributor under Louisiana’s
2015 medical cannabis law.  Simultaneously, in Texas, she
worked on DPS rule-making for the CUP, the 2017 license
application process, and legislative advocacy at the Capitol. She
went on to prepare license applications in other states, and
moved to Colorado for 2 years to fully immerse herself in a legal
state to bring first hand knowledge and experience back to Texas.
She is one of the leading voices in this current Texas law-making
session and is helping to pass a law that would allow a higher
THC concentration, chronic pain, and other conditions. She is a
Non-Resident Fellow at Rice University’s Baker Institute for
Public Policy, Drug Policy Program, and owns her own firm,
Pittman Legal.  


Concerns covered in this episode include: 
-The process for licensing new Texas dispensaries 
-Getting medical cannabis to patients that are far
away 
-Establishing remote storage locations and providing sufficient
security 
-Fentanyl in the illicit cannabis market 
-The new demand that adding people with chronic pain will
bring. 


Frank and Lisa wrap up their conversation by discussing the
future of the medical cannabis industry in Texas and how many
people it will help, particularly for those suffering from both
physical and mental pain.  How many more could it help?
