CBD legislation is supposed to be clear, but it is obvious that some gray areas persist. Actors in the community are still the subject of arrests, searches, police custody and business closures, often without valid justification.
It is crucial, in these uncertain times, to be accompanied by a lawyer, both for companies and for consumers. Maître Plouton, a lawyer specializing in business law and taxation since 2005, is an expert in the field of CBD. His firm, located in Bordeaux, has handled a large number of cases related to this molecule. He is also associated with renowned lawyers in this field, such as Maître Pizarro and Maître Charles Morel, with whom he sets up a collective to launch legal actions in order to move things forward.
In 2018, Maître Plouton was asked to defend a young man accused of “drug trafficking” following the opening of his CBD business in Bordeaux. Unfortunately, this opening attracted the attention of the police and the prosecution, and did not turn to his advantage. Since then, he has worked on many similar files, making him a renowned lawyer in this field.
