About

Based in Oakland, Elliot Silver handles cannabis and marijuana law matters in California. Admitted 29 years ago, Silver studied law at University of Miami School of Law. Related work listed for Silver covers cannabis DUI defense, where blood THC levels are a poor proxy for impairment at the time of driving and charges that survive legalization, including possession above the personal limit, unlicensed sale and cultivation beyond the permitted plant count.

California runs a licensed adult-use market alongside its medical program, and the practical legal issues are licensing, ownership, advertising limits and the enforcement that follows any lapse in compliance. Oversight sits with the Department of Cannabis Control. It is the largest regulated market in the country, where state licenses sit on top of a separate local approval in every city and county.

Silver also takes domestic violence matters.
