Thomas Howard

Most cannabis coverage tells you what happened. I explain what the rule says, who it affects and what happens next.I’m Thomas Howard, a cannabis attorney, dispensary owner, and founder and host of Cannabis Legalization News.CLN has three distinct formats:• Weekly Live News: the established flagship conversation with Miggy.• Legal Explainers: focused, source-backed answers to one hard question.• Ask Thomas: a forthcoming AMA pilot about cannabis law, ownership and how I use AI to help run the work.My work stays in separate lanes:• CLN: editorial news, analysis and education.• Legal services: attorney-led representation and legal education.• Collateral Base / Roll It Up: consulting, software and operator systems.• Pekin’s Local Dispensary: real-world regulated-retail experience.Here I share sourced policy analysis, practical operator lessons and transparent AI workflows. Collateral Base supports CLN’s business, CRM and email infrastructure; it does not control story selection or conclusions. CLN coverage remains separate from legal services, consulting and retail operations. Commercial and related-party relationships are labeled.Watch and read CLN: cannabislegalizationnews.comGeneral information only—not legal advice. Following, commenting or messaging does not create an attorney-client relationship.
