Well I was thinking of a bunch of them down in the US - but it seems entry into Trumpland for those in the Cannabis industry is not something that I want to explore.

Will be going to the O’Cannabiz and Lift conferences here in Toronto and potentially some in Europe as it is way easier to get there than the US for this. Seems kinda stupid but frankly I have no desire to go through the homeland security idiocracy.

Just tell them you’re going for a vacation. That reminds me of the people who got turned away for admitting they were entering the US to attend a protest: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38694437

They are out of control. I have heard so many stories of people being detained, questioned, their phones taken and searched (and all data downloaded). The US has become a scary fascist looking state from the outside.

CannaCon, Marijuana Business Conference, and the Cannabis Business Summit are our 3 favorites in the states.

We’ve been thinking about checking out the CannaGrow Expo in Denver. Anyone know if that’s a good show?

That’s right! I think we walked by your booth as well. Your booth was in the front lobby entrance, to the left when you are walking into the bottom room?

Yes, left corner. Come see as at CannaCon Santa Rosa, we are big sponsors again, right across from GH.

Yup! Cannabis bouquets and boutonnieres, and infused truffles etc. catered for your wedding. And cannabis destination weddings too.

It’s real. You guys realize how much money there is in weddings?

Edit: 50+B
Average cost of US wedding: 30k (!!!)

Just throwing it out there - I own CannabisWedding.ca, CannabisWeddings.ca, CannabisWeddingExpo.ca - if anyone might be interested in partnering on building out the Cannabis Weddings in Canada they should contact me. This is only a small sample - we hold over 200 premium Canadian Cannabis Domains, and a load of .com’s as well.
