Mr. Kane has built a reputation for astute business development and management leadership in both for-profit and non-profit organizations.

Dr. Robert Melamede, President & CEO of Cannabis Science Inc., Stated, "Our shareholders are very important to us and our decision to bring in someone reputable like Robert Kane, with over a decade of previous investment experience from one of the top 10 firms in the nation, felt like the right thing to do at this juncture to build company exposure, access capital, and ultimately increase shareholder value.”

On December 31, 2009, Robert left the banking world, and started the firm Cannabis Consulting Inc. in May of 2010. Cannabis Consulting Inc.’s mission is to establish the Medical Cannabis Industry as a viable investment alternative for all investors. This is done through the writing of business plans for small and mid-size businesses in the medical marijuana industry and advising those companies, in an Investor Relations capacity, on how ancillary medical marijuana businesses can access financial and capital markets. This has led to the creation of The Kaneabis Fund, the industry’s first medical cannabis private equity fund which is currently seeking seed funding up to $36 million with a goal of $132 million.

Robert Kane said, "Investors have few choices when it comes to investing in the Medical Cannabis Industry. This is not a ‘let’s get high industry’. The science and medicine is the true value in the Medical Cannabis Investment. This is evidenced by the success of GW Pharmaceuticals’ Sativex® product. Cannabis Science is a conservative, well-managed company with real long term value if you understand the science and medicine side of this industry. I am proud to be working with Cannabis Science to increase shareholders value for an organization that is truly on the front lines of this science of medicine.”
