Arizona’s voters legalized medical marijuana in 2010 under the Arizona Medical Marijuana Initiative. The official rules were rolled out in spring 2011 and the state started taking dispensary applications by summer. It was during this time that circumstances started to coalesce for Steve Trenk, a serial entrepreneur, to invest in the legal marijuana industry.
“After I sold an aviation services company in 2011, my son, Adam a new lawyer at the time and an elected official in Arizona, was hired by the Rose Law Group, the leading cannabis law firm in Arizona. Having grown up with a best friend whose family was in the liquor business since Prohibition, I immediately recognized the market opportunity and began to immerse myself in gaining a greater understanding,” Trenk said.
