Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently asked congress to allow him to prosecute medical marijuana providers, which was set into place back in 2014. Today, the benefits of medical marijuana have been shown to reduce pain, treat glaucoma, help control seizures and lessen symptoms of multiple sclerosis. And, tax revenues from the 29 states that allow medical marijuana are projected to bring in hundreds of millions of dollars for state and local government programs.
“Support for the legalization of medical marijuana is higher than ever,” said Steve Janjic, CEO of Amercanex, in a recent interview with Inside Counsel. “This April, a CBS News poll found that 61 percent of Americans believe marijuana use should be legalized and Quinnipiac found that 94 percent of American voters support the use of marijuana for medical purposes.”
Janjic founded Amercanex to provide a transparent, neutral and non-manipulated marketplace for institutional cannabis-industry participants, including growers and retailers. The company strictly adheres to the centralizing regulatory and reporting requirements to local and regional regulatory authorities. He is also the former global head of eFX Sales and Distribution at Tullett Prebon, one of the world's largest institutional brokerage firms, with 168 years in the marketplace.
