In a recent New York Times article "New Trade Group's Focus Will Be Marijuana," by Dan Frosch talks about how the medical marijuana industry leaders are forming a national trade association. This will be the first business organization for marijuana working on a national level. More and more states are beginning to legalize medical marijuana. The National Cannabis Industry Association will mainly be focusing on lobbying, but will also help medical marijuana businesses navigate through different laws that depend on the location. This business it booming even though the economy is still struggling. A medical marijuana advocate in Phoenix said, "This is an industry that is emerging... While there is good work being done, there isn’t anyone out there representing the industry’s interests directly.” The group will officially begin at a national convention in Denver next month.
