Kannaway’s legal counsel, Kevin Thomson of Thompson-Burton who recently was awarded 2014 Person of the Year by directsellinglive.com and distributor magazine, was also nominated by TAMM for 2014 Advocate of the Year. Thompson-Burton received the 2014 TAMM Award for Support Company of the Year.
Network marketing industry leader, Troy Dooly, Beachside CEO, states in a video statement, “The Academy is made up of the attorneys, the CPAs, the consultants, the critics – the influencers if you will. All voted that Kannaway was truly the Start-Up of the Year. My hat’s off to you.”
Kannaway is a portfolio company of Medical Marijuana, Inc. An active voice in the re-introduction of industrial hemp and hemp cannabidiol products to the global marketplace, Kannaway provides hemp education, awareness and an affordable opportunity to get in the “green rush”.

Kannaway has been featured by Puerto Rico’s news media including Caribbean Business, a major publication in Puerto Rico that is actively promoting hemp’s return to the island’s economy. In a recent article, Kannaway’s plan for economic development and job growth outlined growing the organization by 150,000 in South America and Europe.

They are our Why, our #KwayWhy!”
