“I have been to cannabis-related conferences throughout the United States and Canada, but what sets the Great Lakes Cannabis Education Conference apart is that it not only brings together industry stakeholders, government officials, and public policy advocates, but also members of academia. Moreover, the fact that the Conference is on Northern Michigan University’s campus and widely attended by students brings a unique energy and creates fascinating discussions about the cannabis industry and its future.”
