Cannabis Advocate 

Jay invests his time, energy, and thought leadership into cannabis because he’s seen what a difference even one single person can make. Jay knows that with a strong, collective voice, we can effect change that enhances quality of life, improves communities, remedies social justice issues, and builds a diverse and inclusive industry.

Jay takes an active role in advocating for the industry and positive change beyond the commercial aspects of making cannabis accessible. As Founding Partner of Canna Advisors, Jay is dedicated to building the industry by working with regulators to shape successful and inclusive state programs, pairing grassroots advocacy with a global vision. Jay has campaigned for numerous legalization efforts, like Amendment 64 in Colorado, United for Care in Florida, NCIA Lobby Days in Washington, D.C., plus local and regional campaigns to further accessibility and repair the harms that came from prohibition.
