The cannabis technology agency, which has played an integral role in piecing together Colorado’s fragmented cannabis industry, is inviting both patients and non-patients to the affair. A family band, consisting mostly of Cannapages editors, will also perform as part of the night’s entertainment.

Two years of development have helped solidify Cannapages as the driving technology behind local and national MMJ industry groups, brands, media, political campaigns and patient outreach. Each of their strategic partners will be represented at the party, set to begin 6PM Sunday at Denver’s Oriental Theater in the Highlands neighborhood. Related businesses of any kind are encouraged to contact the editors immediately to donate products for giveaways.

Bands and DJ’s have been historically commonplace at prior bashes, but Cannapages editors expressed excitement to showcase their own passion for music. Ben Fuller, the company’s chief technology officer, said that it will be the first time that members of Cannapages have performed publicly since May 2010.

Fuller added that the Cannapages staff decided to celebrate in style, after a year of unexpected success, and to launch new endeavors. “We’ve become established in several magazines this year, political campaigns and industry groups galore,” he said. “On the 29th, we hope to unveil new initiatives with several of these partners, in hopes of taking the cannabis community to new levels.”

The Hash Bash is hosted by Meet And Greet, a local networking group, and occurs every-other month in Denver. Traditionally local dispensaries have donated products for patients to sample free; an additional fee of $5 will be charged January 29th for red-card holders who wish to enter the VIP sampling area separately.

GLENVIEW, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mead Johnson Nutrition (NYSE: MJN) was notified today by the United
States Food Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease
Control (CDC) that health inspectors have completed their testing on all
formula samples collected from the company. These tests confirmed that
the Mead Johnson products were safe, and no presence of Cronobacter
was detected. This is consistent with two rounds of testing conducted by
Mead Johnson.

“We remain
committed to our mission to nourish the world’s children for the best
start in life.”

Mead Johnson has been informed that all samples collected from the
company – and related to health investigations in Missouri and Illinois
– have been found safe. Mead Johnson emphasizes these are the only
incidents that led to tests on its products.

All Mead Johnson infant formulas, including Enfamil PREMIUM® Newborn,
undergo approximately 2,300 quality checks and safety tests to ensure
that they meet or exceed our own rigorous standards, and those set by
the World Health Organization, the FDA and other regulatory bodies
before they are made available to consumers.

“We’re pleased with the FDA and CDC testing, which should reassure
consumers, healthcare professionals and retailers everywhere about the
safety and quality of our products. These tests also reinforce the rigor
of our quality processes throughout our operations,” said Tim Brown,
senior vice president and general manager for North America. “We remain
committed to our mission to nourish the world’s children for the best
start in life.”

As a result of the FDA and CDC tests – as well as our own – Mead Johnson
said parents can continue using Enfamil and other Mead Johnson products
with confidence.
