Last year’s legalization of adult use of cannabis will undoubtedly have an effect on the number of cannabis related events in 2019. Canada is becoming a world leader in medical as well as recreational cannabis production and is in a way showing to the rest of the world, how to implement a professional and standardized cannabis market.
Most of the cannabis events are business related, with expos also having their part in the normalization of cannabis as a consumer product. There is a striking lack of scientific conferences, which should be addressed, as these types of events are the basis for scientific credibility of the cannabis plants potential therapeutic applications.
