Pat Davis is a former police officer and now a cannabis consultant. He was appointed by Governor Lujan Grisham to lead the New Mexico Governor's Working Group on legalization, where he helped to draft the state's roadmap for transitioning from a medical to an adult-use market. After legalization, he co-founded Weeds, the state's largest licensing and compliance firm, where they have helped some of the state's largest brands and new startups license facilities and stay compliant. In 2023, their firm was selected by the State of Texas to provide technical assistance in evaluating the state's medical program for potential expansion.
