Cannabis Cum Laude was proud to be the Premier Sponsor of this year's NYS Cannabis Workshop and Education Series. This was a 2-day workshop that consisted of insightful keynote speeches from local and state legislators as well as. educational workshops and panels with some of the biggest names in the NYS cannabis industry.

Most importantly -- I believe this event was a step in the right direction for building the bridge between the legacy and legal market. On this episode of the podcast, you will hear my interviews from Day 1 of the event, which was held at Innovation Square in Rochester, NY.
