Preparation for this weekendB次元官网网址檚 inaugural National Cannabis Conference in Victoria are going pretty much like any other convention, according to Bradley Sawyer.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 going to be a busy week here, weB次元官网网址檙e just trying to get the last few things tidied up and making sure everythingB次元官网网址檚 ready to go for Friday,B次元官网网址 says Sawyer, a Victoria resident and founder of this event, which gets underway not accidentally on April 20 B次元官网网址 4/20 to those in the know about all things marijuana.

Crystal Garden is the host venue for the two-day event, which is part meet-and-greet, part trade show and educational opportunity.

B次元官网网址淚 think the conference is really a way for those in the industry to garner some insights and information they might not have known,B次元官网网址 says Sawyer.

Part of the goal of the weekend will be to make inroads in removing the stigma around cannabis, he adds, in advance of federal legalization this year. Another will be to clear up some of the uncertainties around the current pre-legalization grey area.

As for who he expects will attend the events, itB次元官网网址檒l be a combination of those already in the industry, people who are interested in getting involved as investors and the general public who want to find out more about upcoming legislation and what kinds of products might be available to them.

The trade show begins at 9 a.m and continues until 5 p.m. Full access advance tickets for the trade show and workshops cost $15, and are $20 at the door. To find out more about the conference, other passes and a list of workshop descriptions, visit .
