However, his first entre into the European biz, via the Juicy Fields sponsored ICBC cannabis business conference, and allowing the scam to use his image, puts him in the paid facilitator category.

For the last week, the international news media has had a field day reporting on the Juicy Fields case – in most cases for the first time. In marked contrast, however, the cannapress, with one notable exception in Europe anyway, has stayed remarkably silent. This is far from surprising. Generally, the cannabis media is not investigative, curious, and generally reliant on sponsors who do not want investors, or anyone else, to…
