Our Past and Continued Fight for Justice in Cannabis
Justice in cannabis is a large topic. Justice includes our path and fight towards legalization thanks to the key advocates that got us to this place. Justice also refers to ensuring that those who live with prior cannabis convictions are able to have their records erased and are not hindered by their past as they work towards their future. Justice also means ensuring that all those fighting for the gaps in our current model of legalization to be filled are given opportunities to be vehicles for a cannabis regime that is more favourable for providers, medical patients, and recreational consumers alike. Justice also ensures that the inherent rights of Indigenous people are upheld in our current cannabis regime.
What are ALL our roles in the continued fight for justice for people in cannabis as well as those who consume it?
Our Panel Speakers are thought leaders and accomplished trailblazers in the Canadian cannabis regime Andrea Dobbs, Necole Hines, Jacqui Menezes and Jamie Shaw, who will remind us of what it took to get to this place of a legal space, share some of the shortcomings of the industry that we need to fight to improve, and indicate where there are still fights for human and constitutional rights happening within the city of Victoria in which we’re gathering.

Social Equity & Women in Cannabis
We may talk about social equity in theory, but how often do we, as an entire industry, take time and opportunity to reflect on what social equity really means, and whether the cannabis landscape in Canada is indeed an equitable space for all?
Social equity programs in cannabis recognize and seek to reconcile the disproportionate representation of Women, Indigenous, BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+, people with disabilities, seniors, and those with prior convictions within the cannabis industry, as these groups continue to encounter financial, technical, systemic, and societal barriers to entry into the industry. Social equity is about removing these barriers to entry, and creating pathways to success.
This panel will discuss social equity as a whole as well as the status of Women in Cannabis. We will be sharing current data and research highlighting the gaps and imbalances that continue to plague women and other groups from advancing in our sector.
Thought leaders Necole Hines, Rosy Mondin, Jacqui Menezes, and Keri McBrien will share their insights from their personal experiences as well as what they’ve seen in the industry, as opportunities to create more equitable spaces that gives ALL people the opportunity to advance and prosper in the cannabis space.

Psychedelic Use in Canada; Results of the Canadian Psychedelic Survey 2022
This presentation will highlight the primary findings of the Canadian Psychedelic Survey (CPS), the most comprehensive survey of Canadian Psychedelic Use to date. CPS took place in January 2022, with 2393 adult respondents, and during this session we’ll learn who uses psychedelics in Canada, and explore patterns of use of 11 common psychedelics, as well as co-use with other substances. We’ll also explore peak positive and negative experiences and associated outcomes, micro vs. macro use, and review primary motivations for both recreational and medical use.”
