What we’re about
This is the definitive NYC hub for sophisticated participants focused on navigating and capitalizing on opportunities within the cannabis industry.

Our Philosophy & Approach:
We foster an environment built on trust, professionalism, and meaningful connection. Our events prioritize relationship building and high-level strategic discussion.

This approach ensures a valuable, compliant, and productive experience for all members.

Ground Rules
To ensure our gatherings remain productive, compliant, and focused on high-quality relationship building, we ask all attendees to adhere to the following guidelines:
- Focus on People, Not Pitches: Our events are designed for building genuine professional relationships, not for delivering investment pitches. Please refrain from formal presentations, direct solicitation of investments, or distributing offering documents during the event. Get to know the individuals behind the ideas.
- Share Perspectives, Not Prospectuses: Engage in insightful conversations about market trends, regulatory shifts, operational challenges, and general industry experiences. Avoid deep dives into specific, non-public financial details, confidential deal terms, or forward-looking projections in this group setting. Keep the conversation strategic and informational.
- Connect Here, Converse Deeper Elsewhere (The Key Rule): Have you met someone intriguing? Identified a potential synergy? Fantastic! That's the goal. Politely exchange contact information and schedule a separate, private meeting outside of this event to explore specific business proposals, investment opportunities, or detailed ventures. This allows for appropriate depth and confidentiality.
- Respect the Room & Confidentiality: Uphold the expectation of discretion. Treat conversations you overhear and the identities of fellow attendees with professional courtesy and confidentiality. What's shared here is intended for the benefit of those present.
- Engage Professionally & Courteously: Interact with respect, listen actively, and contribute constructively. We aim for a collegial atmosphere among peers.
Adherence to these guidelines helps ensure a valuable and legally prudent environment for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation in making this a premier networking experience.

(Please Read Carefully)
Welcome to the US Cannabis Investors Network - NYC Chapter events. Our primary purpose is to cultivate a premier environment for sophisticated individuals to forge meaningful connections and share perspectives on the dynamic cannabis industry. To maintain the integrity, value, and legal compliance of our gatherings, your understanding and adherence to the following is essential:
- Information, Not Advice: All discussions, presentations (if any), and materials shared during our events are strictly for informational and networking purposes only. Nothing presented or discussed constitutes investment, legal, tax, or financial advice, nor should it be interpreted as a recommendation or endorsement of any specific company, security, strategy, or investment opportunity by the group, its organizers, or its members.
- Significant Risks Involved: Investing in any industry carries risk, including the potential loss of principal. The cannabis industry, in particular, involves unique and substantial risks due to the complex and often conflicting regulatory landscape between state and federal law, evolving market conditions, and other factors.
- Independent Diligence Required: We expect all attendees to be sophisticated individuals capable of conducting their own rigorous, independent due diligence. Before making any investment decisions, you must consult with your own qualified legal counsel, financial advisors, and tax professionals. Reliance on any information exchanged within this group is solely at your own risk.
- Not a Broker-Dealer or Advisor: This group, its organizers, and affiliates are not registered broker-dealers, investment advisors, or finders under federal or state securities laws. We do not facilitate specific transactions, receive transaction-based compensation, or perform functions requiring such registration.
- Compliance is Your Responsibility: While we aim to foster compliant discussion, any communication that may constitute an offer or sale of securities must independently comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations. This responsibility rests solely with the individuals engaging in such communication.
- Confidentiality & Discretion: We cultivate an atmosphere encouraging open peer-to-peer discussion, which relies on mutual trust and discretion regarding conversations and attendee identities outside of our events.
