April 11, 2016 Secretary Hillary Clinton Hillary for America P.O. Box 5256 New York, NY 10185-5256 Re: Invitation to Tour Vireo Health’s Medical Cannabis Cultivation Facility Dear Secretary Clinton:

On behalf of Vireo Health of New York, one of the five companies licensed to manufacture and sell medical cannabis in New York State, I write to personally invite you to tour our state-of-the-art Medical Cannabis Cultivation Facility conveniently located 45 minutes away from the state capital in Fulton County’s Tryon Technology Park.

The New York State Compassionate Care Act, signed into law in July of 2014, made New York the 23rd

state to allow for the medicinal use of cannabis. As of January 7, 2016, medical cannabis products are available to patients, certified by their physicians, suffering from debilitating and life-threatening diseases like cancer, ALS and HIV/AIDS.

The tour will provide you with an opportunity to learn about our newly implemented medical cannabis program and meet our team of scientists, cultivators and lab technicians. At the conclusion of your tour, we will invite you to make a public statement that clarifies your position on medical cannabis. Specifically, how would your administration resolve the current conflict between state and federal cannabis laws? In addition, if cannabis is listed as a Schedule I drug when you assume office, will you commit to its reclassification during your first 100 days in office?

If you are unable to visit our facility before New York’s upcoming primary, we ask that you make a public statement on this issue in advance of April 19th. Patients, physicians, and countless New Yorkers want to know what actions you will take as president to protect and ensure the long-term success of our state’s medical marijuana program.

We look forward to working with your campaign staff on identifying a convenient time for your visit and with the Secret Service on coordinating the security-related details. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions at (518) 326-6400.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Ari Hoffnung, CEO
