Thanks for the AMA, guys. I'm a fellow IP attorney here. My question is regarding ethical constraints on your work in this area.

While the sale and use of cannabis is legal in Oregon & Washington where you practice, it (of course) remains illegal under federal law. Do you have concerns about advocating for clients for what is an illegal (federally) activity? Have you worked with your states' ethical boards to define the parameters of your engagements in this regard?

And a quick follow-up question. Are you concerned that someone could successfully argue that you are advancing criminal activity and, as a result, that no privilege attaches to your communications with your clients?
