Can you be a successful lawyer on drugs?

There are plenty of lawyers practicing law right now who smoke weed. Many of them were involved in the decriminalization of cannabis and work for groups like Norml, the Marijuana Policy Project and the Drug Policy Alliance.

Not only that, but cannabis is a HUGE legal business in many states in the U.S., and there are scientists, lawyers, and entrepreneurs of all types all working in it.

In fact, nearly every single cannabis dispensary you’ll ever see is likely co-owned by a lawyer, as these are the people able to navigate all the constantly changing regulations.

Cannabis also employs patent lawyers, tax lawyers, and all manners of lawyers specializing in any area of law you can think of.

One could make the argument, it’s not only possible, but it’s necessary to smoke pot as a lawyer in order to deal with the rest of them who are likely either snorting coke or smoking meth. Ask anyone who’s ever been to law or medical school – that’s where all the best drugs are.
