In 2016, Tom had the vision to initiate the very first national baseline cannabis tax analysis in preparation for congressional tax reconciliation efforts following the Presidential election. This cannabis tax revenue baseline, which was highlighted in Rolling Stone magazine, served as the foundational analysis for the Congressional Joint Tax Committee and the entire cannabis industry during consideration by Congress for inclusion in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Tom is now drafting the first Native American cannabis bill. In addition, when the state of Massachusetts sought advice on possible cannabis legislation and traveled to Colorado to conduct its due diligence, they contacted Tom to assist them in that effort. In 2018, Tom additionally led the successful national cannabis campaign effort to defeat the number one opponent of the legalization of cannabis, former Representative Pete Sessions of Texas. Tom is now engaged in completing a national cannabis coalition study effort..
