Nicolai Cocis

Nicolai Cocis practices cannabis and marijuana law from Murrieta, California. With 25 years since admission, Cocis is a graduate of University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law. Related work listed for Cocis covers possession and distribution charges that still apply outside the licensing system, impaired-driving cases, which are contested in legal states because per se THC limits do not track actual impairment and juvenile matters, where a cannabis charge can carry school and licensing consequences.

In California, adults may lawfully possess cannabis and licensed businesses may sell it, which moves most of the legal work out of the courtroom and into licensing, land use and compliance, without removing criminal risk entirely. The Department of Cannabis Control administers the state program. California is the largest regulated market in the country, where state licenses sit on top of a separate local approval in every city and county.
