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.
