Brandon Kane

Brandon Kane practices cannabis and marijuana law from Kansas City, Missouri. Kane earned a law degree from University of Kansas School of Law and has 19 years in practice. Alongside cannabis matters, Kane handles the corporate side of cannabis, including formation, ownership changes and commercial contracts, possession and distribution charges that still apply outside the licensing system and cannabis DUI defense, where blood THC levels are a poor proxy for impairment at the time of driving.

Missouri permits adult use and operates a licensed commercial market, so the work spans business and regulatory matters for operators and the criminal exposure that remains for anyone acting outside the licensing system. The Division of Cannabis Regulation administers the state program. Missouri stands out as a market where microbusiness licenses are awarded by lottery and ownership and residency rules are actively enforced.
