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.”

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.
