Missouri medical marijuana lawyers worry about discipline
February 21, 2021 GMT
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) Attorneys who represent clients in the medical marijuana industry are concerned they might face discipline under a state Supreme Court directive that appears to put federal law in conflict with state law.
The directive, which took effect July 1, says attorneys cannot participate in or advise clients how to participate in acts that are illegal under federal law but legal under state law. Medical marijuana is illegal under federal law but was approved by Missouri voters in 2018.
Attorney Dan Viets, of Columbia, who represents medical marijuana clients, said he recently asked the state Supreme Court Advisory Committee whether he could be disciplined under the directive, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
