With the recent wins of 8 provisional licenses for cultivation facilities in Nevada, and the opening of our first dispensary in Portland, my main focus must be to continue to grow our company and attract the right capital to support this growth. As such, we have appointed Ambassador Siegel as our Board Chairman so I can focus on these growth initiatives and drive shareholder value.”

Having been a board member since April of this year, I believe that Medbox is in a unique position in the cannabis industry to properly advise investors and entrepreneurs as to how to obtain the required licenses to operate, and subsequently how to manage their businesses with the highest levels of safety, security, profitability and best practices. I look forward to continuing to work with the Medbox team to reach our full potential.”
