Texas Cannabis, Hemp & Marijuana Expert Witness
Ted Menadier provides expert witness services in Texas matters involving hemp compliance, cannabis identification, THC testing, crop valuation, criminal cases, cultivation practices, and industry standards.
Texas has one of the largest hemp industries in the United States and a rapidly evolving cannabis regulatory environment. While adult-use marijuana remains prohibited, the state operates the Texas Compassionate Use Program and regulates hemp production and hemp-derived cannabinoid products. These overlapping legal frameworks may create disputes involving cannabis identification, hemp compliance, laboratory testing, cultivation practices, crop valuation, and production estimates.
