‘We Are Big Marijuana,’ Company Gets Support From Former Mexican President
SEATTLE – A former Microsoft manager’s efforts to create the first national brand of marijuana received support Thursday from the former president of Mexico, Vicente Fox.
At a news conference in Seattle, former manager Jamen Shively discussed his plans to launch a new marijuana brand named for his great-great-grandfather, Diego Pellicer, who was at one point known as the largest marijuana grower in the world at the height of the Spanish empire. He says his company is joining forces with a Washington state chain of medical marijuana dispensaries run by John Davis, the Northwest Patient Resource Center, as well as dispensaries in Colorado and California.
Fox appeared next to Shively, where he recounted how the war on drugs has ravaged his country and praised the states of Washington and Colorado for voting to legalize the recreational use of marijuana.
