Roger Stone, Veteran Presidential Strategist for Donald Trump & Marijuana Advocate, to Keynote at Cannabis World Congress in New York

PARAMUS, N.J., April 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Cannabis World Congress & Business Expositions (CWCBExpo) is pleased to announce that Roger Stone has been added to its headline Keynote Series. Mr. Stone is a veteran Republican presidential strategist who has worked with Donald Trump, Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon.  The best-selling author, whose latest book is entitled, “The Making of the President 2016: How Donald Trump Orchestrated a Revolution,” will deliver his Keynote Address on Friday, June 16th, at the 4th Annual CWCBExpo, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York.

A pro-marijuana advocate and active in libertarian circles, Mr. Stone’s CWCBExpo Keynote will be his first public appearance onstage at a national cannabis trade show and conference. The CWCBExpo events take place in leading U.S. markets New York, Los Angeles and Boston and provide an educational and business-building forum for the medical marijuana, legalized cannabis and industrial hemp industries.

“I am a longtime advocate of legal marijuana and I want to share my unique insight with the CWCBExpo audience on how they can move the cannabis industry forward with President Trump and Attorney General Sessions. On a state level, I look forward to discussing ways to reform New York’s draconian drug laws,” said Roger Stone.

Mr. Stone’s Keynote is part of a series of high-profile speeches that will take place at CWCBExpo in New York.  On Thursday, June 15th, Jesse Ventura, former governor, pro-wrestler, industry advocate and author of “Marijuana Manifesto,” will also deliver a Keynote Address. An upcoming documentary, “Get Me Roger Stone,” will debut at the Tribeca Film Festival and air on Netflix in May.

“We are honored to have Roger Stone, who you would not associate with a cannabis event, be part of our powerful New York Keynote line-up. His address will elevate the marijuana reform discussion and help de-stigmatize the cannabis plant’s role in our economy and society,” said Scott Giannotti, Managing Director, CWCBExpo events.

The CWCBExpo NY, taking place under one roof at the Javits Center June 14-16 in the financial and media capital of the world, will also host an expanded exhibit floor (June 15-16) with suppliers in the industry showcasing cutting-edge products and services.
