Gerald Harris Goldstein

Gerald Harris Goldstein practices cannabis and marijuana law from San Antonio, Texas. Goldstein has been licensed to practice for 56 years. Goldstein also works on appellate work, including challenges to licensing decisions and criminal convictions, drug charges ranging from simple possession through cultivation and distribution and impaired-driving cases, where cannabis testing does not establish impairment the way a breath test does for alcohol.

Texas limits lawful cannabis to low-THC and CBD products, so most cannabis matters in the state are criminal ones, including possession, paraphernalia, cultivation and distribution charges, together with a growing volume of disputes over hemp-derived THC products. Regulation runs through the Compassionate Use Program. Texas is a state where a large retail trade in hemp-derived THC products has grown up alongside a very narrow medical program, and the legal status of those products has been contested repeatedly.
