Catherine Trevino

Catherine Trevino is a Minnesota attorney whose practice includes cannabis and marijuana law, based in Anoka. Trevino earned a law degree from Valparaiso University School of Law and has 36 years in practice. Trevino additionally takes on the criminal side of a legal market, meaning unlicensed sales, over-limit possession and diversion cases, impaired-driving cases, which are contested in legal states because per se THC limits do not track actual impairment and vehicle and traffic offenses arising from the same stop as a drug charge.

Cannabis is lawful for adults in Minnesota and commercially regulated, which means the legal questions tend to be regulatory ones: who may hold a license, what a licensed premises may do, and how state rules interact with local authority. Regulation runs through the Office of Cannabis Management. Minnesota is a newer adult-use market building out its licensing framework alongside a separate tribal regulatory track.
