Why Do Numerous "World-Elite" Support Cannabis-Hemp ? .....

I'll answer my own question and offer ..... "Because they realize the potential of exponential growth ahead !!!" ..... For the same reason $RIGH wishes to participate in the Cannabis-Hemp Industry ..... One need not be a great genius to "see-the-writing-on-the-wall" ..... Many believe the future for Cannabis-Hemp will parlay into a multi-trillion dollar sector .....

Some people may be laughing at the prospect of my "multi-trillion dollar" comment ...... But consider for a moment the potential dollar-value of the omnipresent plastics market patterned after HEMP ..... Finally ..... an eco-friendly and biochemical compatible solution to global pollution ..... with a strong possibility of curtailing soaring cancer rates ..... Our human body is not designed to process petrochemical products effectively !!! ..... Few people would choose to argue this assertion !!! ...... Though some might try !!! ....

Henry Ford appears to have been a "visionary" and saw the future potential of Hemp ..... Ford made an all-hemp vehicle which ran on hemp diesel ..... The car was tested for strength and estimated to be 10X stronger than a steel-based car would have been ..... This fact alone might speak to numerous cognitively aware people .....

For many years ..... I have asked the same question ..... What is the estimated dollar-value of a plastics industry mandated toward Hemp ? ..... Not a single person has lifted a finger to respond !!! ..... What about the other alleged 25,000 uses from the Hemp plant ? ...... Then toss medical Cannabis into the picture relative to my "Multi-trillion dollar Indusry comment" ..... I get the feeling a number of individuals at the recent Davos gathering ..... Trump was compelled to miss ..... are starting to "Get-the-picture" .....


Cannabis Comes To Davos, Sharing Spotlight With Global Elites

January 27, 2019 ..... by Kristine Owram ..... Bloomberg News

If more proof was needed that cannabis is becoming accepted by the world’s financial and political elite, what better place to find it than at the Swiss ski resort of Davos?

While the usual cadre of billionaires, politicians and bankers debated the hot topics of the day (China, Brexit, trade), there was Bruce Linton of Canopy Growth Inc. extolling the virtues of legal pot with a Congolese Queen.

And over at the Canada Cannabis House Pavilion -- a rented bar in Davos -- Anthony Scaramucci (best known for his 11-day stint as White House communications director) interviewed former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Barak, chairman of medical marijuana company InterCure Ltd., was speaking a week before Israel’s cabinet is expected to approve medical cannabis exports.

In an era when everyone from former Speaker of the House John Boehner to ex-Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and former Mexican President Vicente Fox sit on the boards of pot firms, such a match up no longer seems bizarre. But if you had told someone at Davos two years ago that a former White House communications director would be interviewing a former Israeli prime minister about the benefits of medical marijuana, they might have thought you were smoking too much of the product.

Davos is all about serendipitous meetings, and so it was for Linton, chief executive officer of Canopy Growth. As a Bloomberg reporter tried to interview him, Queen Diambi Kabatusuila Tshiyoyo Muata of the Bakwa Indu people of the Democratic Republic of Congo introduced herself, and the two chatted about the economic and social benefits of legalization.

Linton, who heads the largest pot company by market value -- worth twice as much as retailer Macy’s Inc. -- said he met former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and the president of Kosovo. He also attended an exclusive interview with Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg.

Linton’s advice for meeting the right people and getting invited to the right parties? “You’ve got to hustle.”

The hustle seems to be paying off for Canopy’s stock, which has soared this year.

Still, even with all the glad-handing at Davos, there are plenty of obstacles to full acceptance of cannabis. Earlier this week, CBS rejected a Super Bowl ad that called for the legalization of medical marijuana, according to Acreage Holdings Inc. (which counts Boehner and Mulroney as directors). You can see the ad here.
