HARRIS COUNTY DECRIMINALIZES CANNABIS IN ADVANCE OF CANNABIS CAREER INSTITUTE ALL DAY SEMINAR IN HOUSTON THIS SUNDAY April 6, 2017 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ON-SITE CONTACT: Gary Maciel 909.560.1447 [email protected] MEDIA CONTACT: Gary Lane 818.669.5363 [email protected] WEBSITE: www.cannabiscareerinstitute.com Burbank, CA – This Sunday, April 9, from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, at the Comfort Inn and Suites, 9120 Airport Blvd, Houston, TX 77061, Gangapreneur GARY MACIEL, the Cannabis Career Institute expert in growing innovation and cultivation, will conduct an all day seminar teaching budding cannabis entrepreneurs how to get started in the evolving industry. CCI offers state-specific training courses that address a range of topics from legal requirements and regulations to basic grow techniques. Last month, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg decriminalized marijuana by instituting the new Misdemeanor Marijuana Diversion Program. This decision in Harris County, which includes the city of Houston, affects more than 4.5 million Texans. As a result, possession of less than 4 ounces of marijuana is now punishable by up to $150, required attendance of a “decision making” class, and no criminal record. “Chalk this development up as another victory for civilized cannabis law reform,” said Maciel. “There is absolutely no question that Texas is on the right path toward medicinal and eventually recreational legalization and my advice to every cannabis-supporting Texan is – keep it up! As the legalization process moves forward, there will soon be a need and demand for thousands of competent cannabis workers – from cultivators to marketers. It stands to reason that those who are the best prepared to take advantage of these once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that are now out there will be the ones who reap the biggest rewards. At CCI, our mandate is to equip the next generation of canna-businessmen and women with the necessary knowledge and tools to become successful in this burgeoning industry.” Cannabis Career Institute specializes in teaching would-be entrepreneurs how to navigate the often-murky waters of starting up a cannabis business. CCI presents students with an objective expanse of options with step-by-step instruction on the process of starting a business. Delivery, Dispensary Management, Law, Compliance, Marketing and Advertising, Cultivation, Extracts and Cooking are all discussed in detail, providing students with many choices to fit their career goals and lifestyle. Cost for the one day seminar, that also allows for students to attend any future class for free, is $349 and includes a seminar manual. CCI is scheduled to return to Houston later in the year…for scheduling updates, please visit -- www.cannabiscareerinstitute.com. As seen on CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, the Huffington Post, and more, Cannabis Career Institute was the first cannabis seminar training program ever offered and is the most successful of its kind. ### GANJAPRENEUR GARY MACIEL Gary Maciel has been growing marijuana for over 40 years.
