or call 717.357.0148

Ted Menadier provides expert witness services in Wyoming cannabis, marijuana, and hemp matters involving hemp compliance, cannabis identification, crop valuation, market pricing analysis, cultivation practices, and industry standards. Wyoming maintains a complete prohibition on marijuana with no medical program and no adult-use market, while permitting hemp production under the Wyoming Department of Agriculture. Wyoming's position directly north of Colorado — the nation's most established cannabis market — along the I-25 corridor makes it one of the most active cannabis transportation interception states in the Mountain West.

Wyoming also sits along the I-80 corridor connecting Colorado and the Pacific Northwest, generating a constant flow of cannabis transportation matters in both state and federal courts. Wyoming's agricultural heritage supports outdoor hemp cultivation across its ranching and farming regions, generating crop loss, valuation, and hemp compliance disputes. Wyoming's aggressive cannabis enforcement posture combined with its geographic position means expert testimony on hemp vs. marijuana identification, cultivation practices, plant counts, and yield estimates is frequently required in criminal defense matters across the state.

Cannabis Expert Analysis and Testimony for Criminal and Hemp Matters

Wyoming's complete prohibition on marijuana, its border with Colorado, and its position along I-25 and I-80 mean criminal cases involving cannabis transportation, hemp vs. marijuana classification, and unlicensed cultivation are among the most common in the Mountain West. Matters in Wyoming frequently involve hemp vs. marijuana identification, plant counts, yield estimates, COA interpretation, and the distinction between legal hemp products and marijuana. I provide expert analysis and testimony to help attorneys, judges, and juries understand the technical realities of cannabis and hemp cultivation and production in Wyoming's strict legal environment.
