One fateful day in 2015, Dave McKinley decided that Nevada was the future of west coast Cannabis. His early vision led NevCann to be one of the first licensed cultivation companies in the state of Nevada. In less than 3 years, Dave had a cutting edge indoor facility in Las Vegas, built from the ground up. That facility and license has paved the way to ownership of multiple licenses, including dispensing and production licenses. In all of my years of experience, I have never seen a company become as profitable and grow its infrastructure as quickly as NevCann has in Nevada. This company and its strategies are THE model for attacking new states with little to zero cannabis history. This is the future.
Perpetual Harvest Designs, affectionately known as “P.H.D.”, founded in 1998 by Dave McKinley, following the groundbreaking California legislation Prop. 215 or The Compassionate Cultivation Act, began as collection of California cultivation masters. As some of the first individuals to adopt the 99 plant collective growing clause allowed for by Prop. 215, P.H.D. immediately began cultivating & providing the highest quality medication available to the quickly growing California patient list. After 20 years of perfecting both indoor and outdoor cultivation techniques, the company has created nearly over a dozen unique, privately owned strains, and a team of cultivators who are highly sought after all over the west coast.
The MAMMA’s (Mothers Advocating Medical Marijuana for Autism) is a grassroots advocacy group with national influence. Did you know that there are 3 million Autistic individuals in the U.S. but only a small handful have legal access to this necessary medicine? The MAMMA’s vision is to educate individuals about the positive impact medical marijuana has on an Autistic patient and its ability to significantly lower the rate and severity of seizures. The group has successfully lobbied in 9 different states to get Autism added to the qualifying conditions list for legal access to this necessary medication.
