an experienced board to put us in the best possible position to achieve
success. These are exciting times for
Chemistree and Nico represents another outstanding addition to our board of
directors on our path of rapid growth.
The High Times Cannabis Cup is the most prestigious and extensive
cannabis-related competition in the world and having his broad
knowledge/specialized expertise, impressive network and reputation will be
invaluable assets to the Company’s strategic direction.”
FSD
Pharma Inc. (CSE:
HUGE) (OTCQB:
FSDDF) has also realized the importance of having industry
pioneers on the board, having announced the
appointment of Charles V. Pollack, Jr., M.A., M.D., FACEP, FAAEM, FAHA, FACC,
FESC, FCPP, as Chairman of its Scientific Advisory Board. In this capacity, Dr.
Pollack will serve as a strategic guide and resource to the Company as it
develops disruptive, science-based, cannabinoid therapeutics.
Dr. Charles Pollack
is an international leader in emergency medicine and founded The Lambert Center
for the Study of Medicinal Cannabis and Hemp at Thomas Jefferson University, in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2016. The Center is the only comprehensive
academic resource for education, research and practice around the use of
medicinal cannabinoids to be housed in a US university. He is the only
physician to have received the American College of Emergency Physicians'
highest national awards in both teaching and research; he also received the
national teaching award from the Council of Emergency Medicine Residency
Directors. He is the only US emergency physician to be elected a Fellow of the
European Society of Cardiology. He is also an Editorial Board member of the journal

Industry awards
like the High Times 100 have helped recognize these industry pioneers ong with SLANG Worldwide Inc. (CSE:
SLNG), a leading cannabis consumer packaged goods company,
who recently announced that
co-founders Peter Miller and Billy Levy have been honored as High Times 100
Most Influential People in Cannabis for 2019 for their leadership in the cannabis
industry. The High Times 100 is recognized as the highest honor for a cannabis
executive or entrepreneur.
Peter and Billy said, "On behalf of SLANG Worldwide's
amazing teams and best-selling brands and fantastic partners, we are thrilled
to be honored by High Times 100. The cannabis industry has been built by
passionate mavericks from all walks of life and all over the world whose
efforts and results are now becoming more accepted and welcomed, and we are
proud to work alongside these people every day. We look forward to continuing
to grow SLANG businesses in a responsible and inclusive way for our customers,
communities, industry partners and investors."
The same can be said for The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. (TSX: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) who congratulated its President and Founder, John Fowler
for also being named to High Times list of The 100 Most Influential People in
Cannabis.
Mr. Fowler, a pioneer of the Canadian cannabis industry,
spent over a decade in the medical cannabis sector as a cultivator, influencer,
patients-rights advocate and lawyer. In 2013, Mr. Fowler founded Supreme
Cannabis' wholly-owned subsidiary 7ACRES with a clear vision: to create
Canada's leading premium cannabis flower brand and produce high quality
cannabis on a commercial scale. Today, 7ACRES is one of Canada's leading
premium brands. Mr. Fowler is also Vice Chair, Adult Use and Director of the
Cannabis Council of Canada, the leading organization of Canada's licensed
producers of Cannabis under Health Canada's federal Cannabis Act.
The industry may be progressing at a seemingly break-neck
pace and as many other industry experts and directors from big tobacco, alcohol
and pharmaceuticals flock to be a part of it, it is good to see there is still
recognition for the pioneers and early adopters. Cannabis is growing into a
massive global industry but even as it progresses, there remains a commitment
to its origins and roots.
