NCIA Board Candidate Statement – Jan Carlos Byl

By Jan Carlos Byl, MedCanna Consulting (DC)

I am seeking a seat on the NCIA board because I want to strengthen the representation of cultivation-centric enterprises on the board. I would bring a strong commitment to electing of standards for cultivation and testing re: yields, quality, genetics, and labeling. My additional platforms would be construction standards, ecological standards in terms of “green” building, waste disposal, and energy consumption. I would push to see the industries’ cultivation services providers adopt a code of ethics and commitment to sustainable and ethical practices. I feel I would be a valuable asset to the board of NCIA as I have twenty-two years of experience with commercial cannabis, cannabis seed, hemp, and hemp seed production on a broad international level. I have a personal commitment to excellence and MedCanna is committed to providing the highest level of services to our clients in an ethical and socially and environmentally conscious way. I am passionate about the fact that those of us who have been a part of bringing the current change in legality about continue to have a loud voice in the future legal landscape of our industry.
