These condition specific booklets from ASA are a great to increase your dispensary agent’s education. Nevada dispensaries are delivering now only superior medicine but a customer experience unmatched in any other state.
***IP1 Initiative Petition One
Senator Segerblom has stated that the cannabis industry has to start promoting IP1 in March. Please connect / contribute to the campaign to regulate marijuana like alcohol.
MAKE A CONTRIBUTION NOW
WECAN and NORML are also going to be doing everything they can from registering voters and getting the word out that IP1 is how we will decriminalize cannabis and regulate it to protect our community.
***Upcoming May 11th & 12th Reno & Las Vegas Marijuana Summit
My fear is this summit will contribute misinformation that will not be to the benefit of the cannabis industry or community. The last one was filled with “Reefer Madness” and misinformation. A few doctors walked out at the last one or maybe a few of you attended the last one and want to commensurate about our shared experience.
One of the speakers was recently on KNPR and spun the biggest piece of misinformation about cannabis, Dr. Pohl. Listen to it below. We need to fight back with facts against unbalanced arguments against cannabis.
***Vegas Cannabis Magazine, Elevate, WECAN Please Purchase Advertisement And Support Cannabis Media
Please support cannabis magazines with your advertising dollars. They are instrumental in the Nevada marijuana community by informing patients, future patients, and out of town guests who are cannabis patients. They also normalize cannabis consumption for the Nevada community and the world. It is going to take a good 6 months of continued advertisement for your brand to really resonate with consumers. Each magazine allows you to reach a different segment of cannabis consumers, so I advise that you advertise in both and WECAN.
Please contact me if you would like to advertise in Vegas Cannabis Magazine or Elevate. Rate sheets are below:
