Okorie Okorocha

Okorie Okorocha practices cannabis and marijuana law from Studio City, California. Admitted 22 years ago, Okorocha studied law at Whittier Law School and California State University - Northridge. Alongside cannabis matters, Okorocha handles employment questions, including drug testing policies and off-duty use protections and civil rights litigation, often arising from the same searches that produce drug charges.

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. 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.
