Founder of Marijuana Investment Group Interviewed by Ganjapreneur

posted in: Hemp | 0


Seattle, WA (PRWEB) December 31, 2014

As public support for the legalization of marijuana has grown, so has the speculation that the cannabis industry could be poised for a major boom if the US federal government changes its policy toward the drug. Like any other emerging market, the cannabis industry has piqued the interest of many venture capital and investment firms around the globe. Recently, Ganjapreneur, a website dedicated to the growing industry, published an interview with Douglas Leighton, founding partner of Dutchess Capital, an investment group which has recently focused its investments on cannabis start-ups.

In the interview, Leighton discusses how Dutchess Capital came to view the cannabis industry as an opportunity and what led to their eventual decision to invest in several start-ups. “It took us about 10 months of due diligence before we were comfortable to make the first investment,” he states. “We joined ArcView, the angel network for the cannabis industry, in the summer of 2013 and met Isaac Dietrich of MassRoots and subsequently made the first investment.” MassRoots is a popular, pseudo-anonymous social network for cannabis users. Leighton elaborates, “They are largest social networking site for the cannabis community and have grown over 2,000% year over year. They are anonymously collecting a tremendous amount of data from their user base such as a user’s strain preference, time of day they consume, consumption method among other key data collection points. They will be able to monetize this data via sponsored posts of either localized merchants and/or national brands.”

Leighton also discusses his predictions for the future of the industry as more and more states begin to legalize cannabis. “The largest market will be pharmaceutical marijuana. This will be a genetically modified version of what is used today for medicinal purposes. The power of this plant is not fully understood; once big pharma understands it, they will get involved.”

Beyond a thriving medical market, Leighton believes that every niche associated with cannabis or hemp will likely see major growth over the next several years. However, this doesn’t mean that every business will prove to be successful. Leighton explains, “investing in this industry is like playing chess without being able to see the board. Eventually ignorance will abate, the banking issue will be fixed and the drug will be rescheduled.”

The full interview can be found on Ganjapreneur’s website, or via their Android app which was launched on the Google Play market earlier this year. Ganjapreneur has announced that their app will also be available in the Apple App Store in the near future. The site launched over the summer, and has since published a large volume of business-related articles and interviews pertaining to cannabis.

Marijuana School Comes to San Diego

posted in: Hemp | 0

(PRWEB) January 03, 2015

On January 11th in California the Cannabis Career Institute will be teaching a marijuana business class. The seminar will take place in San Diego at the Hampton Inn in San Diego. Classes run all day from 9-7 with access to other classes nationwide. The end of prohibition is near entrepreneurs aren’t wasting any time.

CCI aims to focus their lessons on the business side of the cannabis industry as it becomes more and more defined. The institute provides education in the political history of the plant, current laws and regulations in each state and endless business strategies. CEO Robert Calkin has had over 25 years of experience in the industry and has talked to CBS, The Examiner, and SF Weekly among others about the marijuana industry and how his school is creating the leaders of this new age end of prohibition. Being the first of its kind in America CCI strives to personalize the experience for each student by assisting in building a custom plan.

California has had legal medical marijuana longer than any other state in America. In 1996 voters legalized possession and cultivation of cannabis through Proposition 215. In 2004 the Medical Marijuana Program Act (MMA) was authorized by Legislature laying out a clearer system with more rules on how much medicine a patient may possess, how the herb may be grown and a voluntary identify verification process. Mostly recently cannabis concentrates were cleared for medical use under the Compassionate Care Act opening many more doors to the industry.

The Cannabis Career Institute was created in North Hollywood with facilitators who combined their years of experience in the industry to create the best possible educational program. Calkin has created many cannabis businesses including Green Dot Delivery and Cannajobs while also playing a huge had as an advocate in the American Hemp Council and multiple Smoke-In’s in Washington DC. Along with other experienced mentors, students will have access to any answers along their path to success.

CCI continues to expand working with other advocacy groups offering information at classes, conventions, and online. To enroll into the institute there’s a one time all access fee of $ 299 with classes year around nationally. For more information and scheduling please call Robert Calkin 240.338.8785 or email: kimmoffattcci(at)gmail(dot)com To find out more about Cannabis Career Institute go to the website for details: http://www.cannabiscareerinstitute.com

Diversity Matters: The Marijuana Industrys New Recruiting Firm, THC Staffing Group

posted in: Cannabis in the News | 0


Boston, MA (PRWEB) January 18, 2015

A new staffing firm is currently accepting applications from candidates at all levels interested in a career in the marijuana industry.

THC Staffing Group is a business endeavor started by two seasoned activists, Danielle Schumacher and Shaleen Title, dedicated to smart drug policy and the development of a diverse, robust and legal marijuana industry. Working together in this venture, their focus is on finding qualified candidates for America’s fast growing marijuana industry that are not only the right fit professionally and personally, but also represent a wide and diverse cross-section of America’s population.

Designed to assist employers with their staffing needs, THC Staffing Group is poised to grow with the new (diverse) marijuana industry. With national media openly reviewing marijuana’s changing roles, as in 60 Minutes’ recent Colorado story, The Marijuana Effect (11 January 2015), and ABC News reporting a Federal Judge Weighs Marijuana’s Classification (12 January 2015), legalizing marijuana not only changes our laws – it changes our economy.

“It’s no secret that the medical and adult-use marijuana industries are highly regulated and scrutinized,” said Shaleen Title, an attorney who worked on Amendment 64, Colorado’s historic legalization initiative. “This scrutiny extends to the diversity of the staff of prospective businesses. Several of the most recent states to create a competitive marijuana dispensary application process have requested information about the diversity of the applicants.”

“We can help find candidates,” continued Title, “that are aware of and sensitive to the diversity among customers and stakeholders. With our help, you can build your brand as one of the rare marijuana businesses to connect across communities.”

“Most importantly,” Danielle Schumacher added, “a team with diverse backgrounds will be ready to creatively and effectively handle the ever changing – and growing – marijuana industry.”

Based in Boston, Shaleen Title is an attorney with more than ten years of experience helping others start new careers in marijuana business and policy. As the Speakers Bureau Director for Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, Title recruited judges and law enforcement officials to speak out in favor of legalization.

Danielle Schumacher is a seasoned activist with experience running marijuana businesses across the country. As the first chancellor of Oaksterdam University, Schumacher worked with Richard Lee to establish America’s first cannabis college. Originally from Illinois, in 2005 Schumacher moved to California to head the Cannabis Action Network.

THC Staffing Group is currently developing a tool to begin collecting industry salary information in spring 2015.

“Diversity is far more than just a moral issue,” Schumacher noted. “In the 21st century, it’s a business and economic necessity.”
