Colorado Can Have Higher Tipped Minimum Wages OR A Tipping Culture. Not Both. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Politicians and advocacy groups have spent years debating what restaurant workers should earn. That debate is not going away. But I think we have spent so much time arguing over the hourly wage that we have avoided a more fundamental question: Whether you love tipping or hate it, most American full-service restaurants still operate under a tipping model. This issue is by no means unique to Colorado. However, because I live in Colorado and serve as a Board Member of the Mile High Chapter of the C
How To Acquire A Colorado Cannabis License (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Colorado regulates marijuana businesses through the state Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED), while local jurisdictions retain separate licensing and regulatory authority over marijuana businesses within their boundaries.

Taking Your Restaurant International: A Legal Guide To Global Restaurant Expansion (opens the original)
Read excerpt

The Contradictions Of Cannabis Law: From The United States To International Treaties (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cannabis law has never been more contradictory. In the U.S., federal and state governments often regulate identical products under completely different legal frameworks. Hemp and marijuana can produce the same intoxicating effects, yet lawmakers treat them as fundamentally different. Medical marijuana now occupies a unique place under federal law while adult use marijuana remains prohibited. Internationally, countries continue to expand legalization, despite treaty obligations that appear to pro
Celebrating Martin Jelsma’s Retirement And Extraordinary Legacy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I first met Martin Jelsma (retiring as Programme Director Drugs & Democracy at the Transnational Institute) in 2019, I was a law clerk who, from day one, began following developments in international cannabis policy. At the time, I was trying to understand the intricate architecture of the international drug control treaties—how they functioned, how they constrained reform, and how countries like the United States fit within that framework. That search for understanding led me to biweekly c
