My favorite job ever was selling marijuana. I did it in high school and a little bit after until I got arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and some other related crimes. And that led me down to a path of becoming a defense attorney, because I felt like nobody should be prosecuted for marijuana and no one’s freedom should be taken away. In fact, even hard drugs for non-violent drug offenders I felt like treatment should really be the option. So that led me to becoming a defense attorney even though I never thought I’d be a defense attorney.

I was a high school dropout, I was in a rock band, and thought I wanted to make music my career. Being a defense attorney has been great: I’ve helped a lot of people, I’ve been in a lot of courts, and I’ve had a lot of success. I’ve come full circle and got back into the marijuana selling business with my new venture Joe’s Buds. Since our opening in May 2024, we’ve met some great people, sold quality cannabis products at reasonable prices, and it’s been great. Hope to see you soon!
