LAS VEGAS, NV–(Marketwired – July 11, 2016) – Freedom Leaf, Inc., (OTC PINK: FRLF), announced today that Allen St. Pierre, long time NORML Executive Director, has joined Freedom Leaf as Vice President of Communications and Advocacy following his resignation from The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws after 25 years with the world’s leading and oldest marijuana reform organization.

These actions will greatly increase revenues and value for our Shareholders.

“Mr. St. Pierre’s name is fitting because he was a saint to many individuals who ended up being embroiled in cannabis prohibition throughout his NORML career. Allen championed the personal freedoms of the tens of thousands of victims of pot prohibition who called the NORML office in times of need for advice and help. To him this was the most important aspect of his position at NORML.”

Over the past 25 years Mr. St. Pierre has been the most frequently interviewed person in history on the matter of marijuana policy, averaging an astonishing two thousand interviews annually. Since 1991, Mr. St. Pierre has been interviewed by most every major international, national and regional media outlets well over forty thousand times in print, radio and television always professionally representing the concerns and interests of cannabis consumers and the now exploding legal cannabis industry in America. On a daily basis, media, political and business leaders contacted him about the state of Marijuana legalization and what has now become the emerging Cannabis industry. Mr. St. Pierre maintains extensive relationships with many members of the Press as well as business and political leaders. Hundreds of companies entering into the Cannabis Industry have contacted him and he manages to maintain a relationship with many of them. Mr. St. Pierre has lobbied local and state governments nationally, Congress and the Executive Branch of the United States maintaining and he will be using those contacts to further the reputation of Freedom Leaf, The Marijuana Legalization Company™

Freedom Leaf co-founder, Richard Cowan, met and hired Mr. St. Pierre in 1992, when Cowan was NORML’s Executive Director. Cowan stated, “I am enormously pleased that my old friend will be bringing to Freedom Leaf his incomparable knowledge of the issues pertaining to the legalization of marijuana and the industry as well as all the relationships with political leaders, the press and those leaders in the Industry. There is simply no one else in the world who knows the issues… and the burgeoning marijuana industries, as well as Allen.”

St. Pierre on Freedom Leaf: “Of the now thousands of businesses in the cannabis space, when former NORML director and board chair Richard Cowan informed me a few years ago of his strong interest to found a new corporation who’s mission statement is to be ‘The Marijuana Legalization Company™’, seeking numerous ways for the already existing plethora of cannabis-related reform advocacy organizations to better ‘monetize’ their operations, I saw such as further evidence of the political and economic saliency of cannabis legalization itself, going well beyond memberships and apparel.”

“I’m thankful to be provided the opportunity working at Freedom Leaf continuing to liaison with the ever-growing cannabis law reform movement long-spearheaded by NORML’s grassroots advocacy; tapping into a deep reservoir of information and contacts accumulated after nearly seventy thousand hours concentrating on cannabis policy while employed by NORML and NORML Foundation since 1991.”
