DPWW: Neil Demers Forbs Quote - Trump and Cannabis: Which Way Will the Wind Blow? APR 2, 2017 @ 01:39 PM

"While Donald Trump's ascension to the presidency hasn't made an immediate, tangible impact on Colorado's cannabis industry, many industry professionals and business owners are concerned about his administration's vague, and conflicting, rhetoric and the potential for members of his cabinet to push for the enforcement of federal illegality concerning the plant. Colorado's industry has brought about a major revolution in entrepreneurship, investments, tax revenue, jobs, law enforcement, state rights, real estate, and medical technology, and it'd be a terrible thing for the space to be slowed or halted due to misplaced concern for the status of cannabis as a dangerous substance for recreational use. Recent comments from AG Sessions about only expanding the Cole Memorandum seem promising, although investment is slowing down nationally until a firmer position, hopefully respecting the will of the voters, is taken by Trump's administration." --Neil Demers, CEO of Diego Pellicer - Colorado
