David Tuttleman's talk recalls his awakening to the power of cannabis as a medicine. His first experience with medical marijuana is with his sister, who is suffering from stage 4 cancer. Two hours after she asks him for a pot brownie, she is transformed. Then, he learns that his niece, who has been diagnosed with grand mal seizures, has decided to take CBT, the non-psychoactive part of cannabis, and it has stopped her seizures entirely. Tuttleman meets a father in Fishtown who is illegally providing CBT to his baby son, who is suffering through chemo. The CBT makes an enormous difference. As he learns, Tuttleman decides to invest -- he now has a production lab in Las Vegas. The talk's final point is to ask everyone listening to forget the propaganda they have heard, because marijuana IS a powerful medicine.
With a family history deeply rooted in operating successful business entities, David Z. Tuttleman has excelled for more than 30 years across a variety of industries including apparel, real estate development, food & beverage, entertainment philanthropic efforts and more. The experience he encountered during his sister’s illness forever left a mark upon him - one that challenged him to become involved and be part of the future of healthcare. David soon realized that the values instilled by his father when he was only twelve would become the foundation upon which he could plant roots in an effort to touch the world.
