Catia Lewin

Catia Lewin practices cannabis and marijuana law from Ingomar, Pennsylvania. Lewin earned a law degree from St. John's University School of Law and has 23 years in practice. Lewin also works on capital raising and investor disclosure for cannabis ventures and business formation and transactional work for operators and their investors.

Pennsylvania allows medical cannabis but has not legalized adult use, which splits the legal work between the regulated side, meaning patient and caregiver questions and licensing for a limited pool of operators, and criminal defense, because possession, cultivation and distribution outside the program remain offenses. The Department of Health's Medical Marijuana Program administers the state program. Pennsylvania stands out as a medical-only market operating under the Department of Health, with adult-use legislation debated but not enacted.
