Our Company believes that the State of Arizona is putting into place a model medical marijuana system better than any other state system implemented thus far. My hat's off to those who are courageous enough to stand up for the will of the voters and for what is right. We fully expect to see significant economic benefits for the State of Arizona implementing this system."
