Ned Barnett

Based in Houston, Ned Barnett handles cannabis and marijuana law matters in Texas. Barnett earned a law degree from University of Houston Law Center and The University of Texas School of Law and has 38 years in practice. The listing also shows work in criminal cannabis charges and the search and seizure questions that usually decide them and driving-under-the-influence charges involving cannabis.

Cannabis remains largely prohibited in Texas outside narrow low-THC provisions, which keeps the practice focused on defending possession, cultivation and distribution charges and on the shifting rules for hemp-derived products. The Compassionate Use Program administers the state program. It 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.

Outside cannabis work, the listing shows domestic violence.
