Dr. John Stoessinger Joins Altitude Organics' Board of Directors

PHOENIX, May 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Altitude Organic Corporation (Pinksheets: AMNG), a leading national, publicly-traded medical marijuana company, announced today that Dr. John G. Stoessinger has graciously accepted president Brian Cook's invitation to join its Board of Advisors.  According to Brian, "Dr. Stoessinger will be an incredible resource in helping the company interpret and facilitate a balanced policy among local, state, and federal marijuana regulators.  

Dr. Stoessinger stated, "I'm very pleased to join the board of Altitude Organic Corporation. Medical marijuana is an important and effective alternative to traditional treatment to potentially millions of patients currently suffering from a myriad of ailments and I fully stand by the current position of the Council on Foreign Relations regarding states laws and cannabis – namely, that state laws regarding medical marijuana should be honored and supported by Federal authorities."  

Brian Cook stated, "I'm honored to have John Stoessinger join our company today.  John's expertise and credentials add a lot of prestige to Altitude Organic Corporation. The level of accomplishments attained by our directors and advisors speaks volumes about the organization we are building.  The Arizona Dept of Health and its director, Mr. Will Humble, should be applauded for standing up for Arizona laws and patient's rights.  Our Company believes that the State of Arizona is putting into place a model medical marijuana system better than any other state system implemented thus far.  My hat's off to those who are courageous enough to stand up for the will of the voters and for what is right. We fully expect to see significant economic benefits for the State of Arizona implementing this system."
