Terra Tech Subsidiary GrowOp Technology Forms Team to Focus on Medical Cannabis Opportunities in the Northeast
February 26 2014 - 9:15AM
Terra Tech (TRTC), through their subsidiary GrowOp Technology, is
pleased to announce the formation of a team that will focus on
medical cannabis opportunities in the Northeast. The team will be
headed by Evan Nison, the Executive Director of NORML New Jersey
and Co-Founder and Director of New York Cannabis Alliance.
Evan, whose medical cannabis industry beginnings
stem from the grassroots movement to tax and regulate initiatives,
has been a driving force behind marijuana law reform in both New
Jersey and New York. He brings years of experience and success
running organizations focused on advocating on behalf of consumers,
patients, business owners, and other stakeholders to progress
sensible and responsible cannabis reform legislation.
"Evan has experience advocating on behalf of patients and
consumers to progress legislation that will create a responsible,
well regulated and transparent industry." said Derek Peterson, CEO
of Terra Tech Corp. "During this process he has formed
relationships with stakeholders and advocates all across the
region. With him on board I'm confident we will be able to work
with advocates to open the industry and seize opportunities as they
arise."
Terra Tech plans on advocating in support of medical cannabis
and adult-use legalization laws throughout the region, and has
already begun in New Jersey and New York.
"I'm excited to be apart of Terra Tech because they have a
proven track record of operating food-grade agricultural facilities
in a responsible and sustainable way." Said Evan Nison, "I believe
the majority of Americans would prefer responsible companies like
Terra Tech to provide marijuana to patients and adults rather than
unregulated warehouse grows that currently supply retail
dispensaries."
In the past few months, a legalization bill has been introduced
in New York and a prominent member of the New Jersey Senate
announced he will be introducing a legalization bill with the
support of the Senate President in addition Governor Cuomo recently
announced he will be legalizing a limited medical marijuana program
in New York.
