When it comes to navigating California’s cannabis laws, Scot Candell & Associates doesn’t just know the terrain—they helped blaze the trail.
Since 1997, the firm has taken on injustice in all its forms, but in recent years, it’s become a go-to for anyone looking to legally grow, sell or simply survive the ever-shifting world of cannabis compliance. Hence, the firm’s win for “Best Cannabis Attorney (and practice).”
Need a license? Want to buy or sell a cannabis business? Staring down a regulatory riddle? Candell and team have you covered. The firm has deep ties to the top industry orgs, including the National Cannabis Industry Association, National Cannabis Bar Association (NCBA), NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) and the California Cannabis Industry Association.
Candell has gone on record stating his belief that cannabis crimes should be reduced from felonies to misdemeanors and that the cannabis industry should receive government subsidies like some tech industries have. He also projects success for cannabis-infused beverages entering the edibles market.
The firm’s website (candell-law.com) boasts an active blog that keeps readers up-to-date on a variety of issues, like new retailer requirements as well as upcoming cannabis competitions, or even what to do if ICE comes to your door (pro-tip: don’t open the door). Candell and his team don’t just represent clients—they represent a movement. They champion patient rights and stay ahead of legislative curveballs.
In a field where rules shift faster than a dispensary sells out of pre-rolls, it’s critical to have an attorney who doesn’t just react to change but anticipates it. Scot Candell & Associates is that firm—offering expert counsel rooted in advocacy and an unwavering belief in cannabis justice. They work with growers, retailers, investors and patients alike, balancing razor-sharp legal insight with an activist’s heart.
