Oaksterdam University’s Luke Zimmerman, Esq., was featured in the recent High Times article “Do Cannabis Companies Face Consequences for Opposing Home Grows.”

The article discusses how some big canna-businesses see home growers as a threat, and how home growers are pushing back to maintain their right to cultivate plants.

Luke, a cannabis attorney and faculty member in OU’s Legal and Compliance Department, says home growing grants each person access to a unique relationship with cannabis.

“If everyone has a right to grow a limited amount of cannabis, it will be the final nail in the coffin for shifting the outdated paradigm of cannabis being a gateway drug,” he says in High Times.

Luke goes on to say he believes companies should embrace home growing so customers can understand the value of store-bought pot.

“I have grown for the past five seasons, and while I have learned a lot about the plant, what I am reminded of each year is that skills to cultivate quality cannabis take years to develop, especially if you are trying to cultivate for scale,” Luke says.
