LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Nov 3, 2015) -  Freedom Leaf, Inc.(OTC Pink: FRLF) and NORML.org teamed up to present a cannabis information forum at the Las Vegas HempFest on Oct. 3 at the city's Convention Center. Event organizers drew their inspiration from the 23-year-old Seattle HempFest. The panels featured a who's who of local activists and cannabusiness people as well as national figures such as NORML founder Keith Stroup and Freedom Leaf co-founder Richard Cowan.

Freedom Leaf CEO, Cliff Perry, stated, "The event and collaboration with National NORML, Las Vegas HempFest and other Vegas-based companies such as HEMP, Inc., Hemp Blue Denim Hippo-Tees, Nevada Naturals, and Getting Legal are proving that unity in the Marijuana and Industrial Hemp emerging industries will be the successful formula to push for Legalization in the US moving into 2016." This event was one of a number of Marijuana Business Expos, Seminars and Festivals that will take place in Las Vegas and around the country educating and raising awareness about the health & wealth benefits of supporting this movement.

In addition to Stroup and Cowan, speakers included Berkeley Patients Group executive staffer Victor Pinho, cookbook author and prisoner rights advocate Cheri Sicard, Silver Tour organizer and Black Tuna Diaries author Robert Platshorn, Midnight Express author Billy Hayes and many more.

The Vegas scene was represented by RN Julie Monteiro (a.k.a. Nurse Juhlzie), Jessica Aragona, Jason Sturtsman, Dr. Michael J. Kock and Dinesh Dholliwar. The program ran from 11:30 am to 8 pm. Non-profit groups set up tables outside the panel room, creating a bustling area for attendees to network.
