Plant Medicine Law Group Re-Emerge At Emerge But Not Really…..

Apologies I’m a little late with this but it appears very quietly the much self -vaunted  psychedelics law firm, “Plant Medicine Law Group” is no longer.

There is still a live website that refers visitors to Emerge Law…..

But they are no longer “at the forefront of the psychedelics space” as emails now head to…..

Plant Medicine principals Adriana Kertzer, Hadas Alterman, and Serena Wu do not feature at Emerge

So where are they to be found?

Adriana Kertzer can be found on her vanity site where she describes herself as a

“NY-based Texan-Brazilian Jewish activist, psychedelic lawyer, and cultural producer.”

Adriana was the principal of Plant Medicine Law Group, a law firm founded in 2020 that specialized in psychedelic infrastructure. After four rewarding years, she sold certain assets of PMLG and transitioned relationships to Emerge Law Group, a leading Portland-based law firm with extensive expertise in cannabis and psychedelics. Adriana remains committed to the safe delivery of psychedelic care through her role on the Board of Directors of the Shine Collective and previously served on the Board of Directors of Doctors for Drug Policy Reform from May 2021 to August 2024 where she led the rebrand of the organization and the inclusion of psychedelics in its mission.

Post the initial publication of this article we’ve been contacted by Adriana Kertzer who has let us know that the story of the fold into Emerge was shared with online publication Reality Sandwich

Here’s the intro to the piece

 

As the psychedelic industry continues to evolve, a notable transition is underway that could influence the future of plant medicine legalization and access. Plant Medicine Law Group (PMLG), a prominent New York-based law firm, recently announced its closure after four impactful years of service.

The firm is transferring key client relationships to Emerge Law Group, a Portland-based leader in the legal cannabis and psychedelic space. This development represents more than just a business decision—it signals a shift in how legal support is being structured for this rapidly growing field.

PMLG decided to wind down after forming a co-counsel arrangement with Emerge earlier this year. This partnership is rooted in shared values, emphasizing expert guidance and dedication to psychedelics and plant medicine clients. As the industry begins to take on a more formalized legal structure, the transition is a strategic move, helping to ensure continued support for companies at the intersection of healthcare, psychedelics, and wellness.

Emerge Law Group’s Legacy of Advocacy

Emerge Law Group is no stranger to pioneering legal work. Founded in 2014, Emerge played a crucial role in drafting and passing Oregon Ballot Measure 109, which made psilocybin services legal in the state—the first of its kind in the U.S. The firm also helped legalize recreational cannabis in Oregon with Ballot Measure 91. Their experience and long-standing commitment to plant medicine law make them an ideal partner to step in and take over PMLG’s network of relationships.
