The AHLA publishes Health Care and the Business of Cannabis: Legal Questions and Answers, First Edition. This book will help readers see through the legal haze surrounding the interplay between medical marijuana and the traditional health care industry, as well as business opportunities surrounding cannabis and its by-products.

Readers will have guidance for providing informed counsel and tackling tough questions whether they work with hospitals or long-term facilities, physicians or mid-level practitioners. Health Care and the Business of Cannabis covers a broad range of subject areas, so health law practitioners can protect their client’s interests and provide direction in both charted and uncharted terrain.

 “Health Care and the Business of Cannabis: Legal Questions and Answers covers the issues a health law practitioner needs to understand regarding cannabis law, from banking and investment considerations to cannabis use in hospitals,” comments Rob Anderson, AHLA’s Senior Director of Publishing. “AHLA is proud to be publishing this book in such a formative field of law.”
