Steven Glista

Based in Kalamazoo, Steven Glista handles cannabis and marijuana law matters in Michigan. With 15 years since admission, Glista is a graduate of University of Oregon School of Law. Alongside cannabis matters, Glista handles site selection, leases and land use approvals for cannabis premises.

Michigan regulates both adult-use and medical cannabis, so legal work in the state runs from licensing and local approvals through packaging, advertising and seed-to-sale tracking rules, alongside the criminal matters that still arise around unlicensed activity and possession above the legal limit. Oversight sits with the Cannabis Regulatory Agency. Michigan stands out as a market where municipalities opt in individually, so local authorization is often the harder half of a licensing matter.

Glista additionally practices in communications.
