Smokin' Hot News: High-Ho! Mesa Is Getting 'Greener'

What to your MesaZona blogger's wondering eyes should appear just a few hours ago in an online report from AZ Big Media is that here in the most conservative city in America, the grand-daddy of Mesa law firms where both Mesa Mayor John Giles and D4 Mesa City Councilmember Chris Glover got their first start in the practice of law, there was this headline below. Being the Pundit-at-heart yours truly is, it appears that the 'grass-roots' citizen activist movement that put the issue of what's called in popular jargon medical marijuana' in a referendum overlwhelmingly approved by voters has creating an entire new engine for economic development.
It's reason to celebrate! Visions of sugar-plums, anyone?
Udall Shumway expands into cannabis law
"After over 50 years in business, practicing everything from criminal, immigration and real estate law to elder abuse, education and medical malpractice, Mesa-based Udall Shumway is now expanding their full-service law firm with 12 practice areas to include cannabis law.
“Finding quality information about cannabis law and the legal implications relevant to the business of cannabis is like finding a needle in a haystack,” said Justin M. Brandt, associate at Udall Shumway who is the leading counsel for the firm’s practice in cannabis law. “The flood of misinformation in the public realm only highlights the need for good legal counsel, and with the industry growing at a rapid rate we’re now working with cannabis-related businesses to minimize their risk as the law evolves.”
Though many state and tribal governments have fast-tracked cannabis legalization, the legal implications of commercial cannabis is still in its infancy due to constraints imposed by federal law. Udall Shumway now advises these cannabis-related businesses (CRBs) regarding the unique legal and regulatory issues surrounding the cannabis industry given the constantly changing dynamics between federal, state and local law. . . "
How big are the opportunities?
Among the areas in which Udall Shumway is helping CRBs navigate this developing industry includes:
• Corporate Formation and Entity Structure
• Licensing and Regulatory Compliance
• State and Local Government Relations
• Financing
• Labor and Employment
• Tax
• Mergers and Acquisitions
• Cultivation, Processing and Distribution Practices
• Litigation
• Corporate Governance
• Real Estate Transactions
• Intellectual Property & Asset Protection
• Land Use and Zoning

"Reefer Madness'?? Nope > The New Green Economy Is Driving Stock Markets Wild!

Hard-to-believe what used to be "a grass-roots home-grown" culture practiced by some freaks here in America during 1950's and 1960's, can turn into a money-machine for corporations. That is once it's legal tender and traded like any other commodity. 
"This company’s future doesn’t hinge on marijuana. If all forms of THC are banned forever in the United States, we think this company still has an incredible field of opportunity. (Heck, that’s why we recommended it in the first place!)
But now that there’s an estimated $80 billion industry emerging from the woodwork, their prospects are positively mouth-watering – and we think you’ll regret not getting invested now. . .
NOW Why is that according to The Motley Fool
Because after the November 6th vote, there’s the potential for even more capitalization for this small company. And if you’re not invested before then, you may come to regret it.
Election Alert: 1 Stock for the Marijuana Boom
By: Grace Phillips
An American flag in a barn.
On Tuesday, Nov. 6, Michigan became the 10th state in America to legalize recreational marijuana... and the very first Midwestern state.
Additionally, Missouri and Utah both legalized medical marijuana use. If you’re keeping track, that’s now 33 of 50 states with some form of decriminalized marijuana.
Now, why am I taking time out of your day to tell you about this?
Because I believe these three states are ushering us one step closer to an unprecedented boom in the cannabis market.
Frankly, I don’t care about cannabis itself… but I sure do care about massive opportunities for forward-thinking investors… which is EXACTLY what I see here.
Here’s what I’m talking about. Financial experts from all over the world agree: a marijuana boom is coming.
To the tune of an estimated $80 billion.
And here at The Motley Fool, we’ve identified a little-known Canadian company that might have just unlocked the key to profiting off marijuana

The Power of Green: Recreational? Medical Marijuana? It's CANNABIS

Let's look at the power of words and the role of science - and ancillary additive-industry growth sectors in the new economy - all about Cannabis formerly known and discredited as  "pot" and "Reefer Madness" in the so-called War-On-Drugs in the false smokescreen of negative government-generated propaganda.
Hold on - let's just NOT go back there to that discredited narrative . . there's too much positive scientifically-grounded data yielding some positive results.
Your MesaZona blogger started to upload posts about this when he attended an educational conference here in Mesa at the Mesa Arts Center two years ago taking the time to talk to Zac Hildenbrand, PhD, Director of Science & Research at C4 Laboraties in Gilbert. 
C4 Laboratories is a botanical testing facility specializing in cannabis medicine. They perform advanced analytical measurements to characterize potency and product safety of cannabis medicine for the patients of Arizona.  They also provide scientific context to analytical data to promote the targeted use of cannabis  for specific ailments.
Nothing hysterical, sensational or scary about that.
One thing your MesaZona blogger is blown-away by is the announcement by a conservative local law firm that recently announced its expansion into 12 new practice-areas of Cannabis Law - yes! the most conservative city in America is evolving!
Why? It's a money-generating enterprise even for a Mormon-founded law firm to get into.

Risky Business? Well that's what it takes - with 'venture capitalists' investing in Cannabis when we can get away from and get beyond false negative narratives . . .

Transformation You Can Believe In: Cultivating Cannabis

Take a deep breath and inhale some good news: What used to be a home-grown hobby for some and grass-roots start-ups for small-scale innovative creative entrepreneurs back in the 1960's has morphed into a scientific-based industry on a global and hyper-local scale.
Even right here in the 21st Century in Mesa, Arizona the most conservative city in America. No doubt it's another fertile pathway to bring Mesa into the 21st Century - an innovation of a different kind for sure! One recent operational impact to support the growing industry is the news that conservative Mormon-founded law firm Udall Shumway, where both Mayor John Giles and Mesa City Councilmember Chris Glover had internships early in their careers, has entered into 12 Practice Areas of Cannabis Law.
Back in May 2015 your MesaZona blogger was thrilled and excited to have the opportunity to attend this educational event at the invitation of the organizers, speaking during a session break with Zac Hildebrand, President of C4 Laboratories located in Gilbert. 
Canna Magazine publicized the event like this:
An Educational Exploration Into the World of Cannabis

Learn about what’s happening in the rapidly growing world of cannabis from industry specialists, medical professionals, growers, scientists, and families involved in it every day.
