EU parliament event: Cannabis Renaissance: Plant, People, Policy & Product
The first major cannabis event at the EU parliament in Brussels
Cannabis is a topic that has gathered much attention in the past few years at the highest political level.
The word “cannabis” refers to many realities from the types of plants to the various finished products with different end-uses (medicinal vs wellness vs social purposes).
This event has been thought of as a broad introduction. Several experts from agriculture to regulation through public health will bring more clarity on the distinct uses of cannabis. Several industry leaders will share their challenges and proposals to move forward.
By the end of the event, attendees had a solid understanding of the different and autonomous “worlds of cannabis” — what are the stakes, what are the various interests, what are the site of struggles.
Our goal was that after the event the “worlds of cannabis” will be clearly distinguished in public perception including for subsequent events at the European Parliament that we are already planning.
