Cannabis Events around the World

APRIL

National Cannabis Festival – In early 2015 a group of cannabis policy advocates, business owners and enthusiasts joined together around the idea to create The National Cannabis Festival (NCF), an event celebrating progress on marijuana legalization in DC and across the nation. We envisioned creating a festival recognizing the spirit of the cannabis movement and the non-profit groups that have fought for so long to end marijuana prohibition. More than just a festival, NCF is a chance to connect with members of the cannabis community and industry from across the country while enjoying a full day of music, games, delicious food and drink.

The Oregon Marijuana Business Conference – This event is for those who want to participate in cannabis business. Whether you are a wholesaler, a retailer, or a grower, or even if you want not to take part personally but to invest your money into this business, this conference is perfect for you. You will receive all the information you need: taxation, legal/illegal factors, the details and peculiarities of starting your own marijuana business, and answers to all the other questions you might have. Before you immerse in this new fast-developing world, it is better to know as much as you can to avoid failure and problems with the law. Eugene, OR; TBA
