John B Payne

John B Payne practices cannabis and marijuana law from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Payne has been licensed to practice for 42 years. Payne additionally takes on criminal cannabis charges and the search and seizure questions that usually decide them.

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. Regulation runs through the Department of Health's Medical Marijuana Program. It is a medical-only market operating under the Department of Health, with adult-use legislation debated but not enacted.

Payne also takes elder and estate planning matters. Payne is also listed in Michigan.
