Ross' Gold Announces That It Will Be Attending CHAMPS Canada
Conference in Toronto With Olympic Gold Medal Winner Ross
Rebagliati as a Featured Speaker
Rebagliati to Discuss Medical Marijuana Use in Athletes
TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired -
May 16, 2014) - Green and Hill Industries (PINKSHEETS: GHIL) dba Ross' Gold CEO Ross
Rebagliati has been invited to speak at the CHAMPS conference in
Toronto during the May 24th weekend speaking about his experience
as an Olympic Gold Medal winner and the many facets of medical
marijuana use in athletes.
Ross' Gold will also have a booth at the event, and Ross
Rebagliati will be around to answer questions regarding his
experiences and about the company in general. Ross has long
been an advocate for medical marijuana, and was thrust into the
spotlight in 1998.
One day after Rebagliati won the men's giant slalom at the 1998
Winter Olympics in Nagano, his coach told him he'd
tested positive for marijuana. The legal limit for marijuana traces
in the bloodstream was 15 nanograms. Rebagliati checked in at
17.8. The positive was triggered by second-hand smoke he
unwittingly inhaled at a various going-away parties and the wake of
a close friend Jeff "Lumpy" Liddell.
Two days later,
the International Olympic Committee stripped
Rebagliati of his gold medal. Roughly 32 hours after that,
the IOC gave it back. The rationale for the reversal was
as stunning as the initial decision: Weed, as it turned out,
wasn't on the IOC's banned substance list.
Upon release, Rebagliati became an unlikely Olympic
celebrity. He appeared on The Tonight Show with
Jay Leno. He was the subject of two columns by
famed New York Times scribe
George Vecsey, appeared twice on the Conan O'Brien
Show and was parodied twice on SNL. The prime
minister of Canada, Jean Chrétien, called to offer support on
behalf of a proud nation the day he was released from Japanese
authorities.
Ross Rebagliati has been recently featured and continues to be
featured in the media on television and print including USA Today,
High Times, NBC, CBC, CNN, Yahoo! Sports, Die Welt, CTV, The
Toronto Star, The Denver Times, Sports Illustrated, The Pique,
Leafly.com, Whistler Question, NORML, BC Business Magazine,
Huffington Post, The Daily Telegraph, and more.
Rebagliati Gold Enterprises Ltd. was incorporated in October
2011. With changes announced in the way that Health Canada was
going to deal with medical marijuana made public in December 2012,
the Company decided to enter the medical marijuana industry in
January 2013 under the name Ross' Gold™ using the celebrity of
Olympic Gold winner Ross Rebagliati as a springboard into the
industry.
Ross Rebagliati, CEO of Ross' Gold, commented, "I'm often asked
about the fact that supreme athletes such as Michael Phelps and
Usain Bolt have admitted regular cannabis use and what potential
benefits might be for them. I always answer this question the same
way. I believe that Cannabis is the best jet lag cure and it
makes for quick recovery from frequent long haul travel with
different time zones. I also believe that it keeps appetite healthy
for maximum fuel intake to sustain high output over the season as
often appetite is lost due to jet lag and the different eating and
sleeping cycles. CBD is potentially one of the most powerful
anti-inflammatory substances we know of and it's perfect for after
workouts, post injury, post operation and general aches and pains
from long term athletics, training, competing, or simply living
life to its fullest."
