From bongs to bath bombs, hundreds of Cannabis-related items were available at the first ever National Cannabis Conference at the Victoria Conference Centre.
The busy event hosted speakers, vendors from across the country, and attendees ranging from veteran Cannabis users to the Cannabis-curious.
B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 really interested just to see all the differences and how they work,B次元官网网址� said Kirsten, a registered massage therapist who didnB次元官网网址檛 want to give her last name because of the legal status of Cannabis. B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 still learning quite a lot, and a lot of these products are amazing, seeing them use CBD and THC and all the additional herbs in topical treatments, itB次元官网网址檚 really intriguing.B次元官网网址�
Robyn Houle is the co-founder of Flexicanna, a Nanaimo-based company that sells Cannabis-infused items like balms and bath bombs.
B次元官网网址淥ur products are only infused with CBD and organic oils, so you donB次元官网网址檛 get any psychoactive effects from them but they have great benefits,B次元官网网址� said Houle, saying her products could help with muscle pain, bone health, and relaxation. B次元官网网址淚f youB次元官网网址檙e a pot smoker, I suppose you could always smoke a joint in the bath tub if you wanted the psychoactive effects, too,B次元官网网址� she added with a laugh.
HouleB次元官网网址檚 mother, Kelly Houle, was also at the conference as an attendee and said that her opinion over Cannabis has changed.
B次元官网网址淚 found myself speechless at first because I wasnB次元官网网址檛 too sure of the information,B次元官网网址� said Houle, B次元官网网址淏ut now I think itB次元官网网址檚 a huge step forward. Now my mom, who is 89-years old, sits on her chair every morning and every night and uses the CBD balm on her feet and she swears by it.B次元官网网址�
Other vendors were offering products to circumnavigate the sale of edibles, Cannabis-infused items that you can eat which are currently unsanctioned for sales, in the form of do-it-yourself Cannabis gummy kits.
B次元官网网址淲e want people to make the edibles at home, control the doses that theyB次元官网网址檙e putting in, and control their whole edible experience,B次元官网网址� said Andrea Butterworth, co-owner of Paracanna, B次元官网网址淚f people are chasing a pain tolerance they can keep upping their dose or lowering it, we want people to be empowered to do whatB次元官网网址檚 right for them.B次元官网网址�
Industry-level representatives were also there including vendors of complex Cannabis plant feeding systems, Cannabis extraction systems and producers of specialized lights for growing Cannabis.
Victoria Coun. Marianne Alto was one of the opening speakers in the morning. She said she hoped for new perceptions to follow the new regulations as Canada moves towards the legalization of Cannabis.
B次元官网网址淚 think we all know that Cannabis will sort of begin itB次元官网网址檚 next phase in itB次元官网网址檚 evolution into just another medical and recreational substance thatB次元官网网址檚 used by lots of people,B次元官网网址� Alto said. B次元官网网址淪o we are hoping this means that slowly we will lose the stereotypes and stigma and weB次元官网网址檒l lose the suggestions of organized crime and prices will level out and the quality will get better and more predictable.B次元官网网址�
