Well that didn’t take long. Only a couple months after D.C.’s marijuana legalization laws took effect, investors are already planning a convention to figure out how they can get in on the green rush. (No, not that Green Rush, but if any investors are interested in investing in that column, I’m willing to sell out in .01 seconds. Growing weed is expensive).

Oakland, Ca.-based investor incubator The ArcView Group—which proudly proclaims that “cannabis is the next great American industry”— has declared the week of April 30 to be “Marijuana Week” in D.C. On Thursday, April 30th and Friday, May 1st, more than “200 high net worth investors from around the world” who are ready to invest in the burgeoning world of legal marijuana will gather at The Hilton Mark Center in Alexandria, Va. (where weed is not legal) to hear “Shark Tank-like pitches” from eager start-ups in the cannabis business, a release states.

Prior to the investor pitch session, the Marijuana Policy Project will be celebrating their 20th anniversary at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, April 29th. Additionally, the National Cannabis Industry Associations will be hosting a symposium and Congressional lobby days on the Hill on Tuesday, April 28th and the 29th.

Of course, any sort of sale of marijuana is still illegal in the District, so the 200+ investors who will be “looking at the cannabis investor opportunities” may want to hold off a few years before throwing down any money.

Still, with this, along with the recent cannabis convention held last month, it’s clear that there’s a lot of people just aching to invest in the business of marijuana as soon as it’s legal to do so. Hey, look, they even have a video about it!
