Cannabis Now's 40 Under 40 special issue was released just in time for MJBizCon in Las Vegas. It features Berner on the cover. "After more than a decade of publishing Cannabis Now, I'm excited the magazine is highlighting these entrepreneurs who have worked so hard to build booming businesses in this exciting space," says Cannabis Now publisher Eugenio García. "Those featured are an integral part of the cannabis industry."
The issue includes two lists, 40 Under 40 and Legacy Hall of Fame. Both were provided exclusively to CelebStoner.
