Ted Menadier provides expert witness services in Oregon cannabis, marijuana, and hemp matters involving cultivation practices, crop valuation, market pricing analysis, business interruption, and industry standards. Oregon has one of the nation's most established and mature cannabis markets, with a deep history of outdoor cultivation, a strong cannabis genetics community, and significant nursery and propagation operations regulated by the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC).

Oregon's cannabis market has experienced significant wholesale price volatility and oversupply in recent years, creating disputes involving crop valuation, economic loss, business interruption, cultivation performance, and economic damages. Matters in Oregon frequently involve outdoor and greenhouse cultivation operations, cannabis genetics and propagation, nursery operations, and the unique market dynamics of one of the country's most competitive cannabis production environments. Oregon's active hemp sector also generates hemp vs. marijuana classification and compliance matters.

Cannabis Expert Analysis and Testimony for Criminal Matters

Oregon has long been recognized as one of the nation's leading cannabis-producing states, and criminal cases involving cultivation, unlicensed production, distribution, and related allegations continue to arise despite its regulated market. Oregon's history as a significant outdoor cannabis-producing region means matters involving plant counts, yield estimates, production capacity, and cultivation practices are particularly common. I provide expert analysis and testimony to help attorneys, judges, and juries understand the technical realities of cannabis cultivation and production in Oregon's unique growing environment.
