LAS VEGAS, April 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- GrowBLOX Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB: GBLX) CEO, Craig Ellins, will be participating on a panel of thought provoking industry leaders in the medicinal marijuana sector at the Milken Institute Global Conference.  The Milken Conference is a prominent forum where investors from around the world, industry and government leaders, experts and economists from diverse industries analyze a myriad of issues facing global markets.  The conference aligns decision-makers from private and public sectors in order to debate and discuss practical solutions for prosperity and action around the globe.

This distinctive panel will focus on the legalization and social implications that surround the legal marijuana industry, as well as the vast business opportunities that are available in today's marketplace.  While the industry historically has had a negative stigma attached to it – being until recently an underground market – medicinal marijuana, now legal in 21 states, is projected to become a $6 billion industry by 2016.

The panel discussion: "The Highs – and Lows – of the Cannabis Economy," will take place today, April 30, 2014 and will be moderated by Mike 'Zappy' Zapolin. Zappy is a social entrepreneur recognized as one of the key industry leaders in the cannabis economy.  His company, Zappy Inc., is focused on the life sciences opportunities, including new medical applications and safe delivery.  Other co-panelists include DigiPath CEO, Todd Denkin, WeedMD RX Chairman, Michael Kraft, National Families in Action Inc. CEO, Sue Rusche, and Goodwin Procter LLP legal expert, Doug Praw.

Ellins will provide details on the Company's proprietary growing technology at the conference.  The GrowBLOX controlled environment agricultural chambers are designed to create a consistent environment for each plant by controlling the light, humidity, nutrition, temperature and aeration, while excluding outside stresses like, pathogens and pests.  All parameters are pre-programmed for each unit and optimized for each cultivar, ensuring the composition and yield from each batch will consistently reflect the genetic makeup of the plants.  The GrowBLOX cultivation method will make it possible to reliably provide products with very defined properties to patients with specific needs.
