The event marked the launch of PEACE BY PAX, PAX's new impact platform that supports social reform, safe access, and sustainability. The Dennis Peron and Brownie Mary Act (SB-34) permitted the tax-free donation of cannabis to low-income patients. Steven Jung, PAX's COO and a former Captain in the United States Army, emphasizes the need for patients to have access to safe, regulated, and affordable cannabis.
