The Conference keynote speaker is Mr. Josh Stanley, of Charlotte’s web fame. He will be speaking at 12:15 p.m. on Thursday, June 26.

Josh Stanley is a leading medical cannabis entrepreneur and advocate working to advance the medical cannabis industry in the United States and throughout the world. Josh has worked in the medical cannabis industry for over seven years and was one of the first individuals to open a medical marijuana dispensary in Denver, Colorado. He started Colorado’s first true political action committee and 501c4, the Medical Marijuana Industry Group, which he co-chaired.

In 2010, Josh assisted in the drafting of House Bill 1284, the first bill of its kind to further define and establish Colorado’s medicinal cannabis state regulatory structure through the Colorado Department of Revenue. The following year he assisting in drafting House Bill 1043 and was responsible for writing the research and development portion of the bill. Josh sat on the rules and regulations board of the Colorado Department of Revenue’s Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division as well as the rules and regulations board for research and development.

Josh worked with National Geographic Channel on a groundbreaking television series called American Weed that chronicled his family’s mission to keep medical marijuana legal in Colorado and tracked his observational research studies and patient successes with medical cannabis.

Josh is credited with creating the idea to breed a non psychoactive strain of the cannabis plant with low Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and high Cannabidiol (CBD) content which became known as “Charlotte’s Web.” This specialized sativa varietal of medical cannabis has shown promising results in alleviating symptoms of intractable pediatric epilepsy as well as a variety of other illnesses and disease states. Josh’s effort to help children restore their lives with high-CBD cannabis extracts made international headlines in 2013 and was prominently featured on Sanjay Gupta’s highly acclaimed CNN documentary special WEED, and just recently in March of 2014 was followed by the sequel, WEED 2.

Josh had the honor to perform a TEDx Talk in Boulder, Colorado that allows viewers to understand, in less than 19 minutes, the true healing powers of medicinal hemp, (high CBD strains).

A much sought after speaker, Josh has the ability to sift through the propaganda and fear encompassing the medical marijuana industry and delivers a compassionate appeal to end cannabis prohibition. Josh has recently been active in international arenas as he seeks to foster the advocacy for medicinal rights to cannabis on the global stage. .

Speakers at the Toronto Conference are still being added, but will include Josh Stanley, Strains of Hope, GenCanna Global, Jodie Emery, owner of Cannabis Culture, Harry Barr, CEO of Next Gen, Anndrea Hermann, president of the Hemp Industries Assoc., Chuck Rifici, President & CEO Tweed Marijuana Inc, Alan Schroepfer Maui’s Top alternative medicine expert, Chris Bunka, CEO of Lexaria Corp, Deloitte, International Accountants, Chris Parry of Stockhouse, Richard Carleton, CEO, Canadian Securities Exchange. Craig Goodwin CEO of Naturally Splendid and David Stadnyk of Supreme Pharmaceuticals. As well, there will speakers representing finance as well as legal, retail and related trade associations.

As well as an impressive lineup of speakers, there is a jammed packed exhibitor hall with representatives from public and private companies from these three industries. The exhibitors are focused on but not limited to, health and education, government, investment dealers, financial professionals, media, science and technology, legal advisors and consultants to these multi-billion dollar industries.

A hundred and fifty years ago, Harry Barr’s (President and CEO of Next Gen Metals (N:CSE) (OTC Pink:NXTTF)), ancestors began farming in the Ottawa Valley. As far back as pre WWII, the family farm was producing hemp, which in those days was used primarily for rope for the War Act. Hemp amongst its many uses is the strongest natural fiber in the world.

At 23, a young Harry Barr graduated from the University of Guelph in Agribusiness and began a career that forged him into a global mining executive and financier. Barr notes that since 1985, every exploration company he has started is still in business today.

Now, Barr’s companies objective is to seize the opportunity to incubate and mentor select management teams that have the technical savvy, but require the business acumen that any new or expanding industry needs; be it fundraising, complex negotiation skills, capital markets expertise, public company administration or IPO’s.

“The Medical Marijuana business is slowly recapitalizing the junior mining industry in Canada,” stated Harry Barr, CEO of Next Gen. “But more than that, it is quickly bringing together the legal and professional industry forces necessary to give a complex, highly regulated market the visibility and transparency that investors require.”

Barr’s quote that the Medical Marijuana Industry is recapitalizing junior mining is a result of the fact is that Canadian Securities Laws have allowed for thousands of Venture Capital companies to be formed. Given the mining downturn of the last three years, many of these entrepreneurs with proven fund raising and capital market abilities are now leading their shareholders into these new multibillion-dollar industries.

Barr and his dedicated finance and development team are investment pioneers, using mining parlance and their investment experience, staking the Company’s claim in the Medical Marijuana space well before most others. Unlike some other small cap public companies that are fortune hunters, from Day One, his approach was not knee-jerk opportunism, but a well thought out business strategy utilizing decades of business acumen to add consistent shareholder value.

Management of Next Gen as well as other entrepreneurs involved in the Green Rush conference are veteran professionals at fundraising and all aspects of running public and private companies. Next Gen intends to extend its brand to this industry and is actively seeking and reviewing new business plans. It intends to be a leader in the space and the go-to Company for legal marijuana and industrial hemp and alternative medical investments.

Barr and his mining team are not abandoning their mining roots and projects. As CEO, Chairman and Director of Pacific North West Capital Corp (TSX-V:PFN), (OTCQB:PAWEF) he is also Chairman and CEO of El Nino Ventures (TSX-V:ELN), (OTC Pink:ELNOF), President of Next Gen Minerals (CSE:N) (OTC Pink:NXTTF) and Chairman of Southern Sun Minerals (TSX-V:SSI). Pacific North West Capital Corp is a controlling shareholder of Next Gen (22%), approximately 10% of El Nino Ventures and has a modest but important stake in Southern Sun Minerals.

Case in point is the recent deal with MMG whereby El Nino announced a multi-million dollar cash payment and 15 Million dollar project exploration commitment on its African copper projects. Management was also able to negotiate a 1.5% net smelter royalty for its shareholders on not only its Kasala project but on the three additional 70% owned concessions located in the Democratic republic of Congo. El Nino signed this agreement with MMG one of the world’s largest producers of zinc and significant producers of copper, lead, gold, and silver. MMG limited owns and operates the Kinsevere high-grade copper mine located approximately 30km from El Nino’s projects.

El Nino’s Kasala project is one of the newest copper discoveries in the central African copper belt and may someday provide additional feed for MMG’s extremely large and hungry local mine. El Nino also has joint ventures with 2 other world-class companies Glencore Canada and Votorantim Metals Canada in the Bathurst mining district of the New Brunswick Canada. For more information go to on El Nino ventures or the International Metals Group companies go to www.elninoventures.com or http://www.internationalmetalsgroup.com/.

While the medical Marijuana, industrial Hemp and Alternative Medicine industries represent unique investment opportunities, it is important for investors and all interested parties to arm themselves with the facts in this complex, burgeoning market. Investors should focus on companies where the directors insure management is highly regulated and the companies have completed stringent due diligence to develop the most growth-oriented alliances and partnerships. Only then will they will companies ultimately allow for successful completion of their business plans.

US House of Representatives Votes to Stop Medical Marijuana Raids

Medical marijuana, experiencing a huge spark with a recent outcry of public support across the United States, has now spread to members of Congress, as the U.S. House of Representatives votes to stop federal raids on those who use medical marijuana. Last Thursday evening the House passed an amendment that would prevent the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) from pursuing individuals and patients in states where medical use of the drug is legal.

Coming as a pleasant surprise to many citizens across the U.S., the House’s decision reached across party lines, with both Democrats and Republicans showing their support of the amendment with their votes. In a 219 to 189 decision the amendment, led by California Democratic Representative Sam Farr and California Republican Dana Rohrabacher, is the first amendment of its kind to succeed in the House of Representatives.

While the amendment was able to pass mainly due to vast support from Democratic members of the House, there was an observable majority of Republican votes cast in support of the said measure. For this to have happened, the amendment had already been previously backed by a group of co-sponsors from the two opposing parties.

The issue faced in the decision to stop medical marijuana raids was the fact that there was a “routine spending bill” which had been already in place. This allowed for federal tax dollars to be awarded to various government agencies, especially the Justice Department. In turn, the Justice Department has continued its raids of medical marijuana facilities in states across the country where medicinal sales are allowed and adhere to legal terms. However, the new amendment recently passed by the House hopes to prevent federal agencies from continuing these raids henceforth.

Director of Federal Policies at the Marijuana Policy Project Dan Riffle stated that Congress and the overall federal government have begun their shift toward “a more sensible policy” regarding pot, facing strong public pressure. He also made the statement that this vote is historically important after years of the government-initiated “war on drugs” during Ronald Reagan’s years in the White House.

While some critics have made their case that the amendment would only increase the misuse of an “addictive drug” and prevent the DEA from spotting illegal street dealers, House Republican Andy Harris stated in response how other drugs that are addictive have not been advertised as having positive medical benefits.

Unlike marijuana, which many health experts agree has improved patients’ general health, legal substances like nicotine and tobacco cause cancer and have not showed any positive medicinal benefits in any instance. As Harris said, “Nobody writes a prescription and says ‘Smoke a couple of cigarettes and cure your epilepsy.’”

As the U.S. House of Representatives votes to stop medical marijuana raids in the future through the passing of this new amendment, it faces other obstacles as it still needs approval from both the Senate and President Barack Obama. Yet many people across the country, including advocates, patients, doctors, average citizens, and an increasing number of politicians, remain steadfast in their hopes of a nearing reality of both the ultimate decriminalization and legalization of marijuana in the U.S.
