Marijuana cases often hinge on numbers that sound precise but rest on assumptions: plant counts, projected yields, potency figures and street or wholesale values.
Why jurisdiction matters: Whether marijuana is lawful to cultivate, and under which licensing rules, varies by state, and that affects which records exist and how values are measured.

FAQ
Common questions
Does Ted have an office in Missouri?
Ted is based in Denver, Colorado and does not maintain an office in Missouri. Record review and consultation are typically handled remotely, with travel for inspections, depositions or trial when the matter requires it.
Is marijuana treated differently from hemp in litigation?
Often, yes. The legal line between hemp and marijuana depends on THC measurements and the applicable definition, which is why classification and testing evidence can decide a case.
Can Ted challenge a law-enforcement yield estimate?
Ted can review how an estimate was produced and compare it with cultivation realities such as plant maturity, cultivation method and documented harvest data.
