*** 2...1... *** Los Angeles, CA – The State of Marijuana is the premier professional marijuana event in Los Angeles that brings you exclusive conversations and insight on the current and future state of the marijuana industry. This event will cover elements ranging from research, to ‘ganjaprenuers’ and business, to digital media and entertainment. It will be held in Hollywood, CA on Saturday, July 26th from 1pm to 9pm and will feature key figures such as Justin Hartfield, Co-Founder of Weedmaps.com and Dale Sky Jones, Executive Chancellor of Oaksterdam University. This budding industry represents a multi-billion dollar opportunity across the black market, medical sector and marijuana for adult use. Today, there is legalization for medical marijuana in 21 states, 2 of which have legalized cannabis for recreational use. It is estimated that 4 more states – New York, Nevada, Oregon and California – will have a full legalization proposal, if not already passed, by 2016. By 2017, we will begin to see black market sales recede. The marijuana market today is worth an estimated $50-$75 billion. With legalization allowing for open consumption, we will see a spike in market value to approximately $175 billion in online services, direct sales, ancillary merchandise and international sales. This increase in market value could open the floodgates for new jobs and create multiple revenue streams for the nation. Although multiple states are currently in the process of legalizing medical marijuana, it will remain illegal on the federal level. And while traditional banks and credit unions have shut their doors to investors, this has created an opportune time for entrepreneurs and innovators to fill in the void. With leaders from advocacy groups, businesses and academia, this event will host an in-depth conversation on the implications of the nation’s evolving perspectives on Cannabis and what the future will hold for the controversial herb. Be a part of this influential event to learn more about this sector and secure a foothold in the progression of the industry.
