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. .
