ASU has often been regarded as a party school, but consumption culture is not only unique to the University, as nearly one in four Arizona teenagers use cannabis, found a 2019 research study.
High legal consumption of cannabis paves the way for a growing legal profession in cannabis, said Ella Smith, president of the Cannabis Legal Association and a second-year law student at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law.
With cannabis becoming a $17.8 billion industry in 2021, the club allows students to specialize in an emerging field.
"Most facets of the law touch cannabis in some way, whether it's family law, employment law, criminal law, real estate zoning," said Smith.
Lauren Hahn, a second-year law student and vice president of the association, which was created last year, said it is not an advocacy group and it does not discuss consumption at events. The club, which is open to all ASU undergraduate and graduate students, is only about career opportunities in law and hosts networking events, Hahn said.
The Cannabis Legal Association club is partnered with the Arizona Cannabis Bar Association, a group of lawyers who practice cannabis-related law in Arizona. The club hosts events where an attorney from ACBA speaks about their experience, and students can ask questions and receive tips on how to get into the field.
Arizona law firms have reached out to the association inquiring to fill open job positions with law students from the club, Smith said.
