Minorities for Medical Marijuana

Dr. Lance McCarthy works as a board advisor for Minorities for Medical Marijuana, Inc. M4MM is a non profit organization with its corporate office based in Orlando Florida. It was established to focus on on providing advocacy, outreach, research, and training as it relates to the business, social reform, public policy, and health /wellness in the cannabis industry.  They actively connect people to opportunities in the marijuana industry for minorities.  The difficulty in the industry has always been the lack of access to capital, even when one has the skill set and is able to work in the industry.  M4MM is backed by many corporate donors as it facilitates progress and change, but disparities in the legal system and other challenges reveal how we need to make more inroads to open doors.  Government support happens on the state level, not federal, but many states give extra benefits to those who have a social equity or minority partner in their application.   Knowing the playing field and catting through the red tape help reveal opportunities that many do not know exist.  That is where M4MM clears the smoke.

Legal Considerations of Cannabis

Morgan Fox is the Media Relations Director for the National Cannabis Industry Association. The new Presidential administration and Congress appear to be making moves toward legalization. However, there are also talks about dosage strength limits because some White House employees were dismissed, supposedly because of previous marijuana use. So, in the mix in current affairs, Mr. Fox sheds some light on where things are now. While there has been some talk about limiting THC levels, there is no evidence of an imminent movement in that directions. Some consider unlikely that the President would veto a bill to
deschedule cannabis and The Safe Banking Bill, which was re-introduced last week. So despite some back and forth motion, there is potential for forward motion in the very near future. Put your finger on the pulse and listen.
