2015 Las Vegas HempFest: Special Appearance by Tommy Chong

Dear NORML Members and Supporters,

2015 Las Vegas HempFestLegendary comedian, actor, musician and cannabis crusader, Tommy Chong, will have a special appearance at the second annual Las Vegas HEMPFEST and Educational Expo on October 3, 2015. The event takes place at the Las Vegas Convention Center with entertainment, vendors and education seminars. Tens of thousands of visitors are expected to attend.

The first event in 2014 saw more than 10,000 people come through the gates. Las Vegas HEMPFEST is an officially licensed partner with America's largest marijuana festival the Seattle HEMPFEST, which has supported the Cannabis/Hemp legalization movement for 25 years.

Medical marijuana dispensaries are now open in Nevada. An effort is underway for full legalization in 2016. This event is to celebrate progress.

As Educational Seminar Producer of the Las Vegas Hempfest, Freedom Leaf, Inc. has engaged NORML to work with Freedom Leaf and "Ask Nurse Juhlzie" to introduce to this year’s event an education element that will attract those in the Cannabis/Hemp Industry including entrepreneurs, investors, manufacturers/wholesalers, lawyers, doctors, nurses, other medical personnel, and the media.

Las Vegas HEMPFEST is donating a portion of all ticket sales to NORML. This is to honor the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws for its 45 years of dedication to legalization.

"We are honored to be a partner for this event in our hometown," said Freedom Leaf CEO Cliff Perry, "This is a time for celebration and education as we get closer to the real goal of full legalization."

The Vendor Village will host hundreds of businesses including food, hemp clothing and products, literature and education booths, high quality glassware, vaporizer products, hemp skateboards, hemp guitars, trim and nutrient companies, the 420 Carnival with rides, a Miss Hempfest contest and cannabis cultivation exhibits
