About Pro Cannabis Media 2.0
Our Story
When Pro Cannabis Media founder Jimmy Young started Pro Cannabis Media in 2019, he wanted to take advantage of his 40 years in media as an Emmy Award winning sports talk show host, producer, and entrepreneur.
After close to one million views of their work on their YouTube channel alone, ProCannabis Media shows that you can take a professional approach to news production and storytelling without an agenda for embellishment. This gives the cannabis industry an opportunity to control their message with the public.
