He is a trial lawyer with more than 20 years of experience.

He regularly appears on Fox News, CNBC, Al Jazeera, iHeart Radio and Yahoo! to discuss

He's recognized as one of the leading insurance litigation and sinkhole attorneys in Florida.

And when he's not battling large insurance companies on behalf of policy holders, Mr

Corless authors and presents lectures throughout the United States on a wide variety of topics,

including cannabis legalization, insurance coverage, complex expert testimony, criminal

law, sports and entertainment law and insurance bad faith.

As I noted, he's been working on a book, he can tell you a little bit more about when

he anticipates it coming out, but he's had it in the works for a couple of years now.

So please, help me welcome Mr. Ted Corless.

Thank you very much and as a lawyer of 20 years, talking to people who voluntarily spend

their days with lawyers, you have my sincerest apologies.

I am right now violating the law in the State of Florida, depending on who you ask.

If you are carrying less than 20 grams of plant material in the State of Florida and

you're stopped by a police officer, you're probably going to get a $75 fine.

If you're stopped by a sheriff you're probably going to get a misdemeanor, it's going to

So I have $475 with me at all times whenever I travel.

And so far no one has asked me to give that to them.

Light-heartedly the issue is, is that let's begin by saying that what I want to do in

the next few minutes is to introduce you to this plant.

I want to tell you why this plant has been so relevant to me.

And then, I'm going to show you why it should be relevant to you.

And when we're done with that, I'm going to need your help.

I have been practicing law, I was licensed in the state of Missouri in 1995 and I immediately

started working for the biggest, the nastiest law firms I ever could.

I spent several years working for companies that represented some of the largest oil producers

I represented large tobacco companies as a senior associate at Shook, Hardy & Bacon.

And I represented some of the biggest insurance companies in the world when I was an attorney

But looking way back in my past, 1988 when I was 22 years old, I moderated a debate between

a member of the DEA, an agent in the DEA, who debated the Missouri President of the

National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.

Very little publicity, and this was in 1988, and a thousand people showed up.

And I've pretty much been hooked on marijuana since then.

Now, if you, let's begin with what Dana was saying, we know this plant is a variety of

things and that the reason why it is presented on the board in this way is to show it's simplicity.

Lots of interesting things to know about this particular plant.

If we're going to be technically accurate, we call it cannabis sativa.

And then if any of you have been tinkering with cannabis over the last couple of years,

you would also hear another description of cannabis, indica, and if you really get into

it, you'd know it as cannabis ruderalis, which is the kind of cannabis that we use to make

Thomas Jefferson used all three forms of it to make rope and to smoke a little.

Now, marijuana is coming to mainstream because a lot of people were tired of the manner in

which the federal government was regulating this product.

Now I joked earlier about, it depends on who stops me, regarding what the charge would

That's called arbitrary enforcement of the law.

Now what do we know, what happens when we arbitrarily enforce the law, who suffers when

You see, people ask me what is the most effective way I can protect myself about being arrested

If I get caught with it or someone else does.

My suggestion to you, first thing: be white!

Because if you're black, you have a four times, four times the chances to be arrested for

Even though the numbers reflect that white people smoke pot more than people of color.

Now why is this , why are we having these disagreements.

Well it's a real simple word that we just heard Jeff Sessions use recently, called the

Now see, Republicans like to talk about cannabis because they're going to protect us from it.

Now the reality is, is when you hear you're being protected by the federal government,

Well, a lot of it has to do with the fact that this plant is pretty special.

We have Egyptian hieroglyphics that show cannabis being consumed by pharaoh.

And I, if you want to know the best places to grow marijuana, if you've ever been there

and you've enjoyed wine, that's where you want to grow marijuana.

You're in the, what's commonly referred to as the Emerald Triangle in California, which

prior to 1996, 80% of all cannabis grown in the United States was grown in 3 counties

in Northern California: Mendencino, Humboldt and Sonoma.

And if you've ever been to wine country, you'll know that it's everywhere.

Because right now, while California recently passed recreational marijuana, it has not

Alright, so what happens is in 1996 there were a whole bunch of people in California

that decided they didn't really care what the Supremacy Clause said.

That Main Street was taking marijuana back from the federal government, who's held it

The original prohibitions on cannabis that were formulated in 1937 were by a gentleman

He hung out with people from the Klan and he loved to talk about jazz musicians.

Because he was concerned about the influence of jazz culture on America's youth.
