In the news

Outwardly, his former associates' opinions of him don't seem to matter to him. Since the L.A. Expo, Perlowin has remained as effusive and optimistic as ever, rattling off a growing list of cities where he'd got franchisees lined up to use the "King of Pot" brand to make a fortune. He has events planned for San Diego, Los Angeles, Providence, R.I., Ann Arbor, Mich., and Las Vegas. He's convinced his unconventional business model is working, and it's only a matter of time before the naysayers see that he was right all along.
