About[/h][h=2]Cannabis Integrity Authority (CIA) is about changing the perception of cannabis industry[/h][h=2][/h]CIA offers a training, education and certification solution, in a one-stop organization, designed to change the public perception of the cannabis industry.
CIA allows for various companies within the industry to work together for common goals:

• Education
• Training
• Certification
• Self-Regulation
• Best Practice
• Business Ethics
• Patient Safety

Beyond the need for education, is the need to develop certification that is approved nationwide and tracked easily in one database location, while maintaining industry professionalism and providing accepted levels of student privacy.​

[h=3]THE CIA MISSION EXPLAINED:[/h]Cannabis Integrity Authority raises the bar for industry self-regulation, industry standards, best practice, business ethics, consumer awareness and patient safety via stringent training and education.
By using CIA approved educational material, qualified Proctors (Instructors), secure online examination testing, student counseling, cannabis business consulting, job training and more, the bar is raised even further.
By providing a database which allows for secured, student approved Online Verification of student attendance status, pass or fail status, certification status, examination scores and potentially other future established data, CIA pushes the cannabis industry into professional standards.

[h=3]REASON BEHIND CIA[/h]Meki Cox and her partner, Casey Keith, opened up Cannabis Integrity Authority after determining that the industry would benefit from a Nationwide Certification Program. The entire medical marijuana business field could potentially make a drastic improvement if the same training and certification program focused on business ethics and patient safety while demanding self-regulation and compliance from itself.
CIA created an entry level curriculum for National Standards that provides a base understanding of the industry for those just entering and a guideline standardization for those who have been in the industry since the dawn of time.
[h=2]ABOUT CIA FOUNDERS[/h]Casey Keith is the Co-Founder and CEO of Cannabis Integrity Authority and Co-Founder of The Phoenix Collective©
Casey Keith was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and Devic’s disease after waking up blind in one eye and paralyzed from the chest down. Doctors tried popular pharmaceuticals following textbook treatment plans, which caused major side effects.
After suffering debilitating side effects from these treatments and seeing no progress, Casey was encouraged to seek out alternative treatments, thus leading to cannabis. After immediate results from cannabis usage, she became heavily involved in researching and focused upon a career as an educator, grower and activist in the cannabis industry. Casey became an instructor for CCI, providing students a wealth of knowledge on growing cannabis and medical patient information.
Meki Cox is the Co-Founder and President of Cannabis Integrity Authority.
She has a broad group of skills in the cannabis industry, including legal services and corporate marketing, is highly experienced in content SEO and is the founder/director of YDEK.
When her significant other was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, Meki began actively researching the medical marijuana and cannabis industries, which included understanding the endocannabinoid system, communicating and learning from doctors, and working with cannabis advocacy groups and esteemed educators. She began promoting medical marijuana education and reform after her significant other’s medical MRI results showed drastic improvement with only six months of documented cannabis usage.
Meki has since dedicated her life to helping the industry and making a difference in the world with education on hemp, cannabis and medical marijuana, and besides working at CIA is also an instructor at the Cannabis Career Institute and other educational institutions.

[h=3]WILL CIA TALK TO THE MEDIA? HOW DOES CIA DEAL WITH CLIENTS?[/h]CIA deeply believes in establishing best business practices and better relationships with clients, media, consumers and patients.

Cannabis Integrity Authority represents the very foundation of what the Cannabis Industry has the potential to become.​

[h=2]OUR BELIEFS[/h]Currently the public perception of cannabis remains in the negative.
In order to change that negative perception the cannabis industry will need to establish a workforce that provides a positive counter balance.
Currently CIA is focusing on the entire process of mandated training and is prepared to help government agencies with questions or requests about our company and the products, training and guidelines implemented currently and development and partnerships expected in the very near future.
CIA believes that instead of complete Government regulation, it would be in the interest of the industry to implement self-regulation while having the Government potentially mandate Industry certification for employees, volunteers, health care workers and others within various positions of the industry
