Russ Belville is joined by David Rheins, Founder & Executive Director of The Marijuana Business Association (MJBA) at Seattle Hempfest 2016. The MJBA was founded after historic voter referendums legalized recreational marijuana in Washington and Colorado in November 2012.

It is the mission of the MJBA to establish integrity and legitimacy, create common market standards, provide market intelligence, and develop best ethical business practices for participants in the emerging legal marijuana industry – including commercial hemp, medical cannabis and recreational marijuana for adults.
