DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / August 19, 2015 / AmeriCann, Inc. (OTCQX: ACAN), a company with offices in Denver and Boston that designs, develops and owns large-scale advanced medical cannabis facilities, announced that it has added two additional members to its well-respected Advisory Board.

Dr. Brian A. Corr, a noted expert in controlled-environment horticulture, and Nickolas J. Brait, a licensed attorney specializing in the national cannabis industry, have joined the AmeriCann Advisory Board and will play key roles in the Company’s continuing aggressive national expansion plans.

AmeriCann’s Advisory Board consists of a carefully selected array of experts from a wide variety of disciplines – including medical research, plant sciences and seed genetics, greenhouse design, construction, operations, energy efficiency, quality control, licensing and regulatory compliance.

“Both Dr. Corr and Mr. Brait bring a superior level of experience and expertise to our Advisory Board,” stated Tim Keogh, CEO of AmeriCann.”It is becoming increasingly clear that this industry is in its infancy and that the future of cannabis is going to be largely based on research, plant science, building and operational efficiency.”

The cannabis industry has experienced explosive growth over the past two years and most experts believe this trend will accelerate as more states and nations join the movement toward the regulation and legalization of cannabis.

AmeriCann has become a recognized national leader in the design and development of state-of-the-art medical marijuana cultivation and processing laboratories. The Company now has over 1,000,000 square feet of sustainable, energy-efficient projects in development in multiple states and plans to enter additional states as they implement regulated cannabis programs.

“These team members have been collaborating with AmeriCann to provide advanced knowledge and specialized perspectives to help AmeriCann lead the industry into the future,” continued Mr. Keogh.

New Advisory Board member Dr. Corr stated, “From working with AmeriCann I recognize that we share a vision for the efficient and scientific production of the highest quality medical marijuana possible to provide relief to patients with intractable and debilitating diseases.”

Advisory Board member Nick Brait added, “As an attorney specializing in the cannabis industry nationally it has become apparent that the team at AmeriCann has a unique understanding of the enormous untapped potential this emerging industry offers. I’m very honored and excited to become a part of this team.”
