Who are the key people around the country shaping the marijuana policy and business landscape? We wants your nomination for our inaugural “Cannabis Power Players” guide. We’re looking for the individuals shaping this booming multi-billion-dollar industry, whether they’re CEOs of international companies, behind-the-scenes state regulators or advocates fighting to keep cannabis prohibitions locked in or have them undone.
