Brett H. Pojunis. As former two term Chairman of the Libertarian Party of Nevada, Pojunis was very involved on legalizing marijuana recreationally in Nevada. Starting with successfully getting the ballot initiative approved and gathering the necessary valid signatures for recreational marijuana on the 2016 Nevada ballot and provided input while drafting the language which ultimately became The Nevada Marijuana Legalization Initiative, also known as Question 2, on the 2016 ballot in Nevada as an indirect initiated state statute. Additionally, Pojunis served two terms on the Libertarian National Committee and worked on Marijuana Advocacy Nationally in multiple states. He is currently organizing a national annual tour for the summer of 2019 to help legalize marijuana state by state.
Other prestigious members of the panel include;
Boomer Shannon, Political Advocate and Campaign Manager. Boomer is a long time successful marijuana advocate in California and runs state and local campaigns for candidates and issues.
Matt Simon, Marijuana Policy Project (MPP). In 2007, Matt founded the New Hampshire Coalition for Common Sense Marijuana Policy and began advocating for medical cannabis and decriminalization. In 2011, he worked for Governor Gary Johnson’s presidential primary campaign as New Hampshire Communications Director. He left that campaign in late 2011 and was hired by the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) as a legislative analyst.
Director Pojunis stated “I have been involved full time in politics for nearly a decade and over the last 5 years marijuana advocacy has been extremely important to me. I feel this panel will help inspire other advocates to get more involved in marijuana advocacy throughout the country. My personal goals are to legalize marijuana state by state which will open up new markets for Green Leaf Farms to enter as well as other ventures.”
