California Cannabis Lawyers Advocate for Dispensary Victims
Our team of California cannabis attorneys has represented thousands of victims of dangerous consumer products. In doing so, we have recovered millions of dollars in settlement funds on their behalf.
However, we only pursue cannabis compensation from licensed growers or dispensaries, not from illicit transactions.
No Legal Fee Unless You Obtain a Settlement
While money damages may be available to qualified cannabis users, victims are urged to act promptly. The #1 claim California cannabis attorneys can make for psychological compensation is one filed within the Statute of Limitations. Follow this link for our latest information on cannabis multi-district litigation (MDL).
Our California cannabis lawyers are available to review claims now. We offer a free case evaluation to confirm use of marijuana dispensary products and psychological harm. Further, we never charge a legal fee unless a financial recovery is obtained for our client.

California Marijuana Lawsuits in State or Federal Court
CA cannabis lawsuits can be filed in state or federal court. Selecting a jurisdiction is generally based on: 1) whether all parties inhabit California, and 2) the severity of marijuana-related injuries.
California State Cannabis Claims
When all parties reside in California, cannabis lawsuits of any magnitude can be filed in the State’s county courts (CA Courts Website). Section 1714 of the California Civil Code sets forth the State’s procedural law for mental health claims attributed to dispensary marijuana.
The State of California follows a pure comparative negligence rule. Accordingly, a California cannabis lawyer can recover damages for wrongful conduct by growers and dispensaries regardless of what portion of fault may be assigned to the plaintiff. However, the dispensary victim’s financial award may be reduced by their own degree of fault (if any).
9th Circuit Cannabis Claims in California
California is part of the Ninth Circuit of the federal court system, and individual cannabis lawsuits can be filed at its local U.S. District Court. Marijuana dispensary appeals are heard by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Provided the psychological harm is severe, cannabis claims can be filed in this court against growers and dispensaries nationwide.
However, federal marijuana lawsuits filed in California may be transferred to a centralized jurisdiction pursuant to a mental health Multi-District Litigation (MDL) Transfer Order. (Follow this link for our additional information on 9th Circuit cannabis compensation.)
