Now in its 11th year, MJBizCon, the cannabis industry’s largest international industry trade conference, had humble beginnings.

The first one I attended was the fourth annual conference in 2015 in Las Vegas, where participants were surprised and proud that the industry had come so far along that there were roughly 4,000 attendees and 100 exhibitors — proof that our industry was perhaps here to stay.

No matter how you try to dress this up or try to "legitimize" it, there is one indisputable fact: Marijuana use among minors has skyrocketed since the National trend to legalize Pot.

We have done this knowingly without any thought to its consequences. All in the name of "Revenue".

No amount of revenue is worth the negative impact on our youth.

We will come to regret this Progressive Pipe Dream.

Perhaps you might square the statements "...indisputable fact..." and "..may be more likely to use marijuana..." with "...marijuana use among minors has skyrocketed..."?
