YesWeCannabis is a non-profit focusing on education of the general public and teaching elected officials about the benefits and scientific advances in medical marijuana research. Principal founders of this non-profit have been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Culture Magazine, as well as Los Angeles and Inland Empire television and print news outlets.
Our target audience is really three-fold and will include the general public, elected officials, and media outlets. The general public age range is broad, typically 22-65, and 60% male/40% female.
