released throughout the month of May on a weekly basis.
"This is an incredible opportunity to show what happens
when an underground industry suddenly becomes legitimized, and to explore the
real-life challenges that go on behind the scenes in the cannabis
industry," explains writer/director Amy Tasillo.
"I've
been working in the cannabis industry for over 15 years, and being able to
co-create and develop a story that's so close to my personal experiences is a
long-time goal of mine. To do so with my life partner is trichomes on the
bud," adds co-creator/producer Matt Doherty.

DC's cannabis culture. As the first East Coast jurisdiction to legalize
recreational cannabis use, DC's policies are heavily influenced by
Congressional authority over the city. The series follows the experiences of
industry professionals navigating the gray area of the law--like marijuana
being a federal crime--as they attempt to build a thriving industry.
The trailer for the series can be viewed atwww.eastcoastgrow.tvand a press kit with creator/cast
bios, etc. is available here.
Complete press screeners are available upon request.

#Cannabis Stock News: Arkados (OTC: $AKDS)
Announces Smart Building Pilot for Cannabis Greenhouse
Measurement and Verification, Environmental
Monitoring, Energy Conservation and Sustainability Proof of Concept
NEWARK, N.J. - April 12, 2017 (Investorideas.com Newswire)
Arkados Group, Inc. (OTC:AKDS), a global provider of scalable and interoperable
Internet of Things (IoT) solutions focused on industrial automation and energy
management, today is pleased to announce the signing of a beta site agreement
with Yuma Way LLC, a Colorado-based cannabis grower, to utilize the Arktic™
Smart Building solution to help to optimize conditions in their greenhouse
facility in order to increase revenues and reduce operating expenses.
Leveraging the benefits of the Arktic Energy Measurement and
Verification solution, cannabis growers are able to continually monitor and
measure energy consumption from their greenhouses and facilitate the
implementation of energy conservation measures, such as efficient LED lighting,
renewable energy and others, which can lower energy costs by up to 50%. In
addition, Arkados plans to expand the solution during the pilot to include
additional environmental sensing, such as CO2, humidity, temperature, ventilation
and soil moisture, which growers can analyze to optimize for enhanced yield
results. Lastly, Arkados plans to implement a predictive maintenance capability
during the pilot for detecting potential mechanical issues with heating and
ventilation equipment and irrigation systems, which can result in significant
savings on operating and maintenance costs and major capital expenses in the
case of breakdowns.
Additionally, we believe Arkados Energy Solutions can bring
great value to cannabis growers from its energy services, such as LED lighting
and solar PV systems.
"We are very excited to enter into this beta site agreement
and demonstrate the value that the Arktic Smart Building solutions can bring to
the cannabis growing industry," stated Terrence DeFranco, CEO of Arkados
Group, Inc. "We are working with a highly reputable organization that
understands the benefits of how businesses can leverage the Internet of Things
to improve productivity and efficiency in highly competitive markets. We believe
this pilot is just the beginning of a significant long-term opportunity for
Arkados in the cannabis and specialty agriculture industries and we are
fortunate to have a great partner."
According to ArcView Market Research, the legal cannabis market
grew to $6.7 billion in 2016 and is expected to grow to $22.6 billion by 2021,
a compound annual growth rate of 27%. At the same time, a study by Lawrence
Berkley National Laboratory found that 1% of all electricity consumption in the
US is from indoor marijuana growing operations, or about $6 billion annually
and energy costs are among the most challenging issues for indoor growing
facilities. The combination of the Arktic IoT solutions and energy conservation
services can potentially bring great value to this market in the form of cost
savings and sustainability.
The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three month
period ended November 30, 2016 is on file with Securities and Exchange
Commission. To access the report,click here.

Statement
From the Marijuana Policy Project Regarding Reports That Congressman Tom Marino
Will Be Named Next White House Drug Czar
WASHINGTON - April 12, 2017
(Investorideas.com Newswire) The Marijuana Policy Project has issued the
statement below in response to reports that Congressman Tom Marino (R-PA) will
be named the next director of the White House Office of National Drug Control
Policy (ONDCP), also known as the "drug czar."
As a member of Congress, Marino has
consistently voted against marijuana policy reform legislation.
Statement from Robert Capecchi,
director of federal policies for the Marijuana Policy Project:
"We are disappointed but not at
all surprised to hear a marijuana prohibitionist is being selected as the next
drug czar. After all, whoever fills the position is required by law to oppose
any attempts to legalize the use of marijuana for any purpose.
"Despite a steady stream of
anti-marijuana drug czars over the past several decades, 28 states have
legalized marijuana for medical use and eight states have enacted laws
regulating it for adult use. We expect that trend to continue regardless of who
the next drug czar is.
"President Trump repeatedly said
he believes states should be able to determine their own marijuana policies,
and the vast majority of Americans agree. We remain hopeful that the
administration will respect state marijuana laws. It is also critical that Congress
take action to ease the tension that exists between state and federal marijuana
laws."
The Marijuana Policy Project is the
nation’s largest marijuana policy organization. For more information, visithttp://www.MarijuanaPolicy.org.

The future of medical marijuana is
bright and opportunities abound. NFL and other pro sports are the next
battleground. With Jerry Jones and Jeff Sessions acknowledging and accepting
medical marijuana, the future is clear.
As de-criminalization of cannabis

the oil boom. For three days over the weekend of April 21-23rd in the Fort
Worth area, the American cannabis industry and national experts will discuss
how to capitalize on this trend. Even Cowboy's owner Jerry Jones is a part of
the discussion as we've now heard.
Texas is widely considered to be one
of the most lucrative emerging cannabis markets. The Lone Star State has a
burgeoning cannabis industry that's on the cusp of becoming one of the biggest
U.S. markets.
This event features a line-up of
celebrities, former pro football players, medical professionals and more, all
working cohesively to bring about increased cannabis awareness.
The Conference is three packed days
of cannabis information, education and networking, including a major expo with
125 exhibitors. Accredited Comprehensive Medical Cannabis and Cannabinoid
Medical Cannabis Training (https://swccexpo.com/texas/accredited-cannabis-education).
Also, a Women & Cannabis Business Seminar entitled "Stories and Steps
from Women in Business" - Getting Started Series" hosted by Genifer
Murray, Cannabis Pioneer and Story Simon, former President of Overstock.com. (https://swccexpo.com/texas/women-cannabis-business-seminar)
At a special event on April 21, join
Marvin Washington, Boo Williams, Darren Long and many more athletes and medical
professionals on the discussion of cannabis and NFL athttp://proathletesprocannabis.com.
Come see what the new world of
cannabis will become in the foreseeable future. Even more important is to learn
about this business opportunity, which is still in its infant stages. Come to
Fort Worth as the American cannabis industry spends a weekend in Texas to
explore this emerging trend.
