Andrew Kline Quoted in Law360—Commerce Clause 'Chaos' Could Follow Fed. Pot Legalization

Andrew Kline was quoted in the Law360* article, "Commerce Clause 'Chaos' Could Follow Fed. Pot Legalization," on how federal legalization could trigger a regulatory crisis.

The comments were aired at a webinar moderated by Andrew Kline, senior counsel at Perkins Coie LLP, and echo many in the industry who have urged federal lawmakers to slowly roll out legalization so as not to radically alter state cannabis markets.

Andrew, former director of public policy for the National Cannabis Industry Association, said that despite the draft bill's silence on the dormant Commerce Clause and the industry's concerns about an interstate market, stakeholders agreed that descheduling cannabis should have happened "yesterday."
