Cannabis litigation turns on technical questions that most attorneys, adjusters and jurors have never had to answer: how a crop is grown, what it was worth, and what the records actually show.
Why jurisdiction matters: Cannabis disputes are shaped by each state's licensing structure, testing rules and market, so the records and pricing available differ by jurisdiction.
