Matt Abel, 52

Attorney, Cannabis Counsel

Detroit

In 1985, Abel was a fresh-faced law school graduate hoping to focus on his primary passion: Environmental law. But he quickly changed direction and started defending those facing marijuana charges. “Some people go to law school to make money. I went to make a difference,” Abel says. That activist nature propelled him down the path of cannabis law. “People’s lives are being destroyed – not by marijuana, but by the so-called war on drugs,” Abel insists. About half of Abel’s practice involves helping cannabis businesses battle regulatory issues. “One false move and these entrepreneurs could lose everything.” (John Brecher / msnbc.com)
