Release
The Cannabis Health Fair is a full-day patient outreach event designed
to answer all your questions about cannabis as medicine and how
to become a legal patient in Colorado. Cannabis has been used safely
for over 10,000 years as medicine by humans. It is only in the last
70 years that citizens have not been able to enjoy the benefits
of cannabis and the many conditions it treats. The Cannabis Health
Fair is designed to educate people on the best ways to legally take
advantage of this wonderful plant for the treatment of many symptoms
and diseases.
The Cannabis Health Fair will feature speakers on many topics related
to medical cannabis. There will also be information tables from
medical cannabis dispensaries as well as other hemp and cannabis-related
businesses.
The event is free and open to the public.
Patients, caregivers, advocates, medical professionals,
legal professionals and law enforcement professionals are encouraged
to attend.
