ICNB Iconic Brands Inc (CE)

Iconic Brands Inc., (NQB:ICNBD), today announced that The Marijuana Business Academy, America’s leading cannabis educational institute–educating, training, building and expanding America’s Ganjapreneurs with step-by-step ‘how to’ training platforms–had a record number of attendees, both investors and entrepreneurs, at the Academy seminars held this weekend, April 19-20, at the Colorado Springs International Cannabis Technology Expo. These seminars, led by CEO and President KC Stark and leading industry professionals, provide education and insight into starting a marijuana business.

Iconic Brands Inc., as previously announced, has signed a binding Letter of Intent to acquire The Marijuana Business Academy. The acquisition is on schedule and expected to close in May 2014. Iconic Brands management which has a historic business in the development, marketing and distribution of alcoholic products sees the marijuana industry forming in the United States as similar to the repeal of Alcohol Prohibition in the 1930s, and expects to see a multi-billion dollar industry form from the legalization of medicinal and recreational marijuana use in the United States.

Mr. KC Stark, MMJBA CEO and President stated, “This is the end of 76 years of cannabis prohibition and the beginning of a global industrial, commercial, medical and recreational revolution unlike anything we have seen since cotton and the cotton-gin. Unlike cotton, cannabis has the ability to touch almost every sector of our society. From possible cures to ailments, such as cancer, PTSD, nausea and Drevats, to hypoallergenic diapers and HEMP fiber cars and homes. Imagine retirement homes for ‘higher living’, k9 kennels with cannabis treatments, and massive cannabis festivals with farmers' markets and cannabis social clubs. This is now. It is not theoretical. It is real. Our mission is to prepare our fellow Americans for these business adventures.”

Based on raw data, the market has spoken with its wallet. In the first week of recreational marijuana sales, owners of 37 new retail marijuana stores reported roughly $5 million in sales. What is good for the goose is also good for the gander. The State Department of Revenue collected more than $2.1 million in the first month of 2014. This number suggests almost $14 million in gross sales for the month of January 2014 alone.

President and CEO of The Marijuana Business Academy, KC Stark has successfully started and sold marijuana businesses and consulted 100's of marijuana owners on how to spend less, make more and expand their brand with America's most valuable cash crop. KC served on the Medical Marijuana Task Force and is founder of Go Green Cross, The Marijuana Business Academy, MMJIQ and Studio A64, America’s “Original Cannabis Club.” His knowledge and network has helped to insure a financially viable and business focused industry. KC has also been featured on NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News and in The Wall Street Journal.
