Join our expert panelists as they discuss the future of cannabis breeding and phenohunting from both the legacy & legal perspectives. As the industry continues to evolve, it’s essential to examine the role of legacy producers and how they are shaping the cultivars that legal cultivators and consumers will appreciate in the years to come. Our panelists will explore the advantages and disadvantages of operating within the medical production framework vs. the legal framework, and the unique challenges that breeders and phenohunters face in the current cannabis landscape. From the science of genetic breeding to the art of phenohunting, our experts will share their experiences and insights on how to navigate the complex world of cannabis breeding and phenohunting from both the legacy and legal perspectives. Whether you’re a legacy producer looking to adapt and transition to the legal framework, or a new legal cultivator looking to learn from the best, this panel is a must-attend for anyone interested in the future of cannabis genetics.

Compassion Clubs have played a huge role in the history of cannabis normalization and legalization. Without them, it is unlikely that the Cannabis Act would have ever become law. And yet, federal and provincial regulations have largely ignored this history, with the vast majority of compassion clubs that existed across Canada being forced to shut down. Today, one compassion club remains active: the Victoria Cannabis Buyers Club. This storied compassion club was also the first in Canada, founded in 1996. Join VCBC founder Ted Smith and lawyer Kirk Tousaw (who represents VCBC) in a discussion on the history of compassion clubs in Canada.
Four years into legalization, barely anybody is making cannabis suppositories in the regulated Health Canada market. Is this because there isn’t demand for it? Probably not, since suppositories amongst many medical patients, almost none of whom use the new regulated market. If that’s the case, then what is limiting the rollout of this incredible medicine in the Cannabis Act system?
Cannabis suppositories are arguably the most beneficial form that cannabis can take for medical purposes and have transformed many patients’ lives. Despite this, they are one of the least known forms that cannabis products can take. Come listen to a cannabis nurse and two suppository makers discuss the what, why, and how of cannabis suppositories.

No question that cannabis has served a foundational role in having mainstream society revisiting the opportunities of natural medicine. Can mushroom cultivation be an exit strategy for cannabis facilities looking to turn their infrastructure into something more profitable?
