The 4-1-1 on Cannabis Receiverships from a Top Cannabis Receiver

In this episode, Hilary Bricken [https://www.huschblackwell.com/professionals/hilary-bricken] sits down with Richard Ormond, one of the nation’s leading cannabis receivers and an expert in cannabis receiverships. Richard, a partner at Buchalter and the owner of Stone Blossom Capital, shares his unique insights into the fast-evolving world of cannabis business restructuring, the legal complexities of court-appointed receiverships, and what makes cannabis receiverships distinct from those in other industries. Richard explains the role of a receiver and why courts appoint receivers for struggling cannabis businesses, and he discusses the regulatory hurdles and compliance issues that make cannabis receiverships especially complex. Step-by-step, Richard walks us through how a receivership is initiated, his duties as a receiver, and the typical outcomes for cannabis companies.

Cannabis and Hemp Federal and State Advocacy in 2025

Chris Lindsey’s origin story in cannabis is a legendary one. He was once a practicing attorney that felt the strong arm of the federal government firsthand when he was charged and prosecuted by U.S. attorneys for drug crimes by virtue of advising cannabis clients on compliance with Montana law and participating in the Montana cannabis industry. Today, Chris is the Director of State Advocacy and Public Policy for the American Trade Association of Cannabis and Hemp (ATACH), advocating for federal and state cannabis and hemp law reform.  In this episode, Chris shares ATACH’s advocacy positions and progress on the Hill and what he sees happening in the future for cannabis and hemp businesses in the U.S., including the fate of the Farm Bill, rescheduling, and de-scheduling, and how state-legal cannabis and hemp can and should co-exist. Chris also details for listeners the current state of advocacy and lobbying within the cannabis industry and the different industry interests that are fighting for a seat at the table in DC for future reform and regulation.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
