Ohio’s Price for Medical Cannabis Lower than Surrounding States – Cannabis Business Times

LAS VEGAS, NV / Aug. 5, 2022– Cannabis Conference and award-winning media brand Cannabis Business Times are excited to announce Tommy Chong as their inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. The award, which recognizes Chong’s many contributions to the industry, will be presented at a special Cannabis Leadership Awards reception—made possible with the generous support of FOHSE – Future of Horticultural Science + Engineering—Aug. 24 at Cannabis Conference.

From his rock ‘n’ roll-inflected youth in Canada to his counterculture-defining roles in Hollywood, Chong has spent his life standing up for creativity and freedom of expression. This is now most evident in his approach to the legal cannabis industry, where Chong maintains a deeply rooted sense of respect for the plant. His latest venture, for instance, Cheech & Chong’s Takeout, is a California delivery service that keeps one foot in the lore of tradition while meeting the legal market where it is today. He also pioneered the celebrity brand landscape with Tommy Chong’s Cannabis, which features a robust line of THC and CBD cannabis products. And, along with longtime partner Cheech Marin, Chong’s focus is now centered on the duo’s „Cheech and Chong’s Cannabis,” which provides flower and multiple other products in markets across the U.S.

Chong’s voice (and his sense of humor) have helped elevate the nation’s cannabis conversation—and its consciousness, and in no small way helped pave the way to today’s legal cannabis industry.

“We are truly honored to recognize Tommy’s longtime contributions to advancing cannabis culture and using his fame to help normalize cannabis and advocate for its legalization,” said Noelle Skodzinski, editorial director of Cannabis Conference and Cannabis Business Times.

Chong will be recognized alongside the 2022 Cannabis Leadership Awards recipients, who were nominated by their peers and selected for demonstrating the leadership qualities needed to inspire and empower those around them, and who aim to better the industry and their communities.

The 2022 Cannabis Leadership Awards winners are:

„We’re honored to return for the second year as the sponsor of the Cannabis Leadership Awards, as well as presenting Tommy Chong with Cannabis Conference/Cannabis Business Times’ first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award,” said Ben Arnet, co-founder and president of Fohse. “We at Fohse congratulate and celebrate Tommy and this year’s Cannabis Leadership Awards winners.”

Chong will be featured in the October issue of Cannabis Business Times, and the Cannabis Leadership Awards recipients are featured in the August issue.
