- Robin Ely, MD: “I am a medical cannabis provider involved in clinical, research, and educational endeavors in the United States, Israel and internationally. Only today I became acquainted with Tom Angell’s work in cannabis legislative and related matters. I immediately recognized that his information is invaluable for me in my personal efforts to stay abreast of this rapidly evolving landscape. I have chosen to support Tom’s work as I could readily see his commitment, knowledge, attention to detail. There is so much work to be done; a great team of people with so many talents has arisen. I hope many of you who read my words are equally inspired to support this particular endeavor.”
