DENVER — Cannabis policy and public affairs firm VS Strategies has changed its name to Strategies 64.
There will be no changes to its team, which will continue to be available to provide background and commentary on a broad range of cannabis- and psychedelics-related issues at the national, state, and local levels. The firm comprises some of the nation’s leading experts in marijuana and hemp policy and politics, who have been instrumental in developing U.S. cannabis laws and policies.
The new name, Strategies 64, is inspired by Amendment 64, the 2012 ballot measure that made Colorado the first jurisdiction in the world to legalize and regulate marijuana for adult use. From laying the groundwork and running the campaign, to implementing the initiative and building upon it every year since, Amendment 64 has been a major nexus for firm leaders Mason Tvert, Christian Sederberg, and Jordan Wellington. It also marked a critical turning point for cannabis and drug policy, inspiring jurisdictions across the U.S. to enact similar reforms—many with help from VS Strategies and its team members.
VS Strategies was founded in Denver in April 2014 as the independent policy consulting and public affairs affiliate of Vicente Sederberg (now Vicente LLP), among the nation’s preeminent cannabis and psychedelics law firms. There is no longer a formal affiliation, but the two firms continue to work closely.
