Cannabis Law Series, Episode 2 Eric Berlin and the Business of Cannabis in Illinois

Attorney Eric Berlin of the worlds largest law firm Dentons continues to share his journey and his expertise as a US and Global Team leader on Cannabis.  We are jumping in right where we left off in episode 1 so it will sound a bit like coming into the middle of a conversation because, that is exactly what it is!  We last were discussing how communities considering allowing cannabis businesses to operate within their boundaries were viewing these initial days of legalized medical marijuana and how important it was so patients could be provided safe access to medical cannabis. If you are listening out of sequence, I highly recommend you go back and listen to episode 1.Episode 2 holds so much information including the risks of running a cannabis and cannabis adjacent business, diversion control which is when legal marijuana leaks into the illegal market, supply chains and cultivation centers explained and basically product description from bud to market.  Episode 3 will be coming out shortly so be sure to follow Spilling the Village Tea so you get notified!Links:https://www.dentons.com/en/eric-berlinCo-author, "Insights on Cannabis Industry Legislation and Stocks," The Dales Report, April 30, 2024Co-author, “New Reports on Potential Health Hazards from Occupational Exposure to Cannabis,” Dentons Client Alert, November 21, 2023Co-author, "The Food and Drug Administration Won't Budge on Cannabis and Hemp," The Journal of Federal Agency Action, Vol. 1, No. 3, May-June 2023. Co-author, "TTAB Upholds USPTO Policy Prohibiting Registrations in Trademarks Claiming Cannabis Paraphernalia," Dentons Client Alert, May 15, 2023Author,"Have Recent Market Projections Impacted Cannabis Industry Optimism?," Benzinga.com, February 14, 2022Co-author, "Cardinal considerations for incorporating TCPA safeguards into cannabis marketing," Dentons Client Alert, September 14, 2020The featured artist and Downers Grove native is Matt Nelson and his band Major Wheeler performing the original song “Bottle”.  You can find Matt’s music through the links below:Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/6UNz6AiExqUU590XaBeI8x...iTunes / Apple Music https://music.apple.com/us/artist/major-wheeler/1809589969Youtube Music https://music.youtube.com/cha.../UC9rxzLQLI7nmhwOdM25FUFw...SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/major-wheelerAmazon Music https://music.amazon.com/artists/B0F67824L4/major-wheeler Thanks to the media lab at the Downers Grove Public Library.Our logo was designed by Qwurk Communications.Spilling the Village Tea is hosted and created by Robin Rutkowski and edited by Jay Wadhwa.You can email us at [email protected] us on Facebook at Spilling the Village Tea and Instagram atSpillingTheVillageTea_podcast.  On whatever platform you listen, please let that platform know you enjoyed our podcast with likes or stars, and follow us officially through that platform!Thank you for listening!
