An excerpt; ” So between Jim Annie and myself, we have all facets of the industry covered. I am a 40 year veteran of the cannabis industry and in this world since the mid 80s. I worked at America’s first hemp company, that was owned by Steve DeAngelo in the early 90s. I’ve known Steve since the late 70s. Worked with his company in the 80s. I worked with EcoBoost in the 90s and we’re still friends today. Annie Rouse is our resident academic. She is the world’s only Fulbright scholar in the subject of hemp. She is also currently the only person who carries a master’s degree in hemp. She and others have put hemp in space. We are studying hemp on the International Space Station. Jim and I are working on novel delivery devices. We have two patents filed, one for cannabinoids and lipophilic compounds and another for reduction of the spread of coronavirus using our delivery device and some of our cannabinoids and other features and he is an expert on regulation. Annie sits on the board of directors, she is the secretary of the Hemp Industry Association. She is on the board of directors for the US Hemp Authority and the Hemp Roundtable. I am on the board of directors for the National Cannabis Industry Association and I am on the Hemp Industry Committee. Our job is education and getting the knowledge out there about the plant and that it’s good for people to use”
