George Jage, the president and publisher of Marijuana Business Daily since 2014, has parted ways with the company for undisclosed reasons.
The position will not be filled, but the company plans to make key strategic hires in other areas, said Cassandra Farrington, Marijuana Business Daily’s co-founder and CEO.
During his tenure at Marijuana Business Daily, Jage helped the company grow its events and news businesses significantly.
“George joined the team prior to the third annual Marijuana Business Conference & Expo, when the industry-leading trade show had seen great success and was set to grow into a much larger venue in Las Vegas,” Farrington said. “I am grateful for his contributions in helping to drive the event operations, which helped support the exponential growth the show has experienced. We wish George all the best in his future endeavors.”
Jage was unavailable for comment.
The emergence of more overseas cannabis markets offers companies billions of dollars in business opportunities.
How can you be the MBD and not know why your own president left?
They know why, but for their own reasons have decided not to publicly share it, simple as that.
thank you George for your work and wonderful leadership, whomever shall follow you will never fill your shoes (I’m not implying that foot size matters) farewell

Gfarma Labs aka Ata Gonzales has a bone to pick!!! **popping popcorn**
No bones to pick. In fact I spoke to George earlier today. The man did an amazing job for the brand during his time with the company. That’s an undisputed truth! Anything else is water under the bridge. The G FarmaBrands Family would actually like to thank George for always helping.
