New York City, NYC - November 24, 2015 - (Newswire.com)
First Harvest Financial hosted its networking event and seminar ‘The Emerging Market in the Cannabis Sector’ at the Peacock Restaurant in New York City on Monday, November 16, 2015.
Attendees included top investment bankers, entertainers, athletes and industry advocates at this was a one-of-a-kind event catered to over 100 of New York’s premiere accredited investors. Guests in attendance enjoyed complimentary food, beverage and a proprietary seminar on industry insights into the medical cannabis sector.
The seminar highlighted various cannabis-related topics from speakers Alexander Nachman of First Harvest Financial and Dr. Gregory L. Smith, two leading industry advocates.
“Cannabis is business,” said Mr. Nachman, “Many investors get caught up in the word ‘cannabis’ and do not realize the size and scope of this industry. There is proven demand in the marketplace and it is growing!”
Mr. Nachman passionately spoke and highlighted industry statistics, market segments, technology, and first movers to the space.
Dr. Smith, a board certified physician with his MD from Rush Medical College and his Masters of Public Health from Harvard, spoke on industry research and recent medical discoveries, including biosynthetic cannabinoids and the benefits of its use in medical applications and treatment options.
Publishing the first ever textbook directed to medical students and primary care doctors on the uses of medical cannabis entitled, “Medical Cannabis: Basic Science and Clinical Applications – What Clinicians Need to Know and Why,” Dr. Smith’s extensive research confirms the efficacy and utility of cannabis as a safe and effective medicine.
The response and turnout for First Harvest Financial’s event was such an overwhelming success that it plans to host similar events on a regular basis to help educate and advocate on behalf of the medical cannabis industry. The First Harvest Financial team of experts shared personal insights and spoke one-on-one with attendees on the medical and societal benefits, as well as the economic impact of the cannabis business and investment opportunities available to accredited investors.
