Major Announcement on Cannabis Industry Thursday, Includes former Mexican President

Interdisciplinary leaders from across the business and political spectrum announce their plans to move forward relative to marijuana legalization. Cannabis movement leaders have determined that the lack of federal direction puts the progress of the industry and legalization as a whole at risk. This lack of federal direction has created an environment in which investment capital has been restricted so that legal, real estate, and other key infrastructure that is needed to ensure a positive outcome for the legalization initiative are being blocked.

Plans for working together to mitigate these problems and define a solid path forward will be articulated. Announcements will be made as to the progress that has been achieved up to this point.

In attendance will be:

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox

Jamen Shively, CEO of Diego Pellicer Inc., Seattle

Alan Valdes, Chairman, Diego Pellicer Inc.

John Davis, CEO of the Northwest Patient Resource Center (NWPRC)

Skip Dreps, Distinguished Washington State Veteran

Aaron Smith , Executive Director of the National Cannabis Industry Association

Dr. Michael Osborne, President of the Strang Cancer Prevention Institute

Several other MDs who currently treat cancer patients with cannabis

Constance Finley, provider of cannabis treatments for cancer

Several other Washington State and Seattle government officials, final list TBD

When & Where:

12 – 2 p.m., Pacific time, on Thursday May 30, 40th floor, Columbia Tower in downtown Seattle (5th & Columbia). Validated parking under the building.
