Maryland Cannabis, Hemp & Marijuana Expert Witness

Ted Menadier provides expert witness services in Maryland matters involving cannabis and marijuana cultivation, hemp compliance, crop valuation, economic damages, business interruption, testing, and industry practices.

Maryland's cannabis industry differs from many states because of its recent transition from a medical marijuana market to a combined medical and adult-use cannabis market. The state's cannabis sector includes cultivators, processors, dispensaries, testing laboratories, and hemp operations. Maryland's rapidly expanding cannabis industry, evolving regulatory framework, and growing commercial market have created disputes involving cultivation practices, business valuation, testing and compliance issues, economic damages, operational performance, and industry standards.
