Athletes, Music and Cannabis; Bringing Weed Culture

Description:

For far too long, marijuana use and those who consumed it, held a less than favorable perception with the mainstream masses and media. This panel will explore how major names in music and sports have utilized their voices, platforms and experience to help destigmatize weed, while also building their own empire in cannabis. Moderated by Forbes Cannabis journalist, Lindsey Bartlett, the panel will include Ricky Williams, former NFL great and founder of Highsman and the founders of Jeeter, the #1 pre-roll cannabis brand in the US, to talk about leveraging the power of collaboration and experience to change the conversation. We will be locking in a major name in music (likely Fisher) and possible NBA great, Dwayne Wade. Both Ricky Williams and DWade collaborated with Jeeter on a special drop
