I have been seeing the 2016 Holistic Cannabis Summit pop up a lot on social media recently, and it’s one of those events that I really wish I could check out, but unfortunately I have to work. Hopefully the event goes to digital download after it’s over. The event started today and will continue until the 8th. It’s an event dedicated totally to cannabis wellness, which is something that I think just about everyone could learn more about. I have been co-running this blog since the beginning of 2010, and have researched cannabis a lot, and I often feel like I have only scratched the surface.
The topic of medical cannabis is huge, and covers so many different things. What conditions can be treated with cannabis? What form of cannabis is best for particular conditions? Are there particular strains that help certain conditions more than others? How many cannabinoids are there? What is the proper dose? Those are common questions that patients ask. Then there are those questions that people don’t think about, or are too afraid to ask.
All of those topics and more are going to be discussed at the Holistic Cannabis Summit. There are going to be presentations by leading experts, including some people that I respect on a level that I can’t express in words like Dustin Sulak, Paul Armentano, and Amanda Reiman. These are some of the people that I look for when the topic of medical cannabis comes up. If I hear them say it, then I know I can take it to the bank. Those speakers are being joined by many others that are all experts on their areas of medical cannabis. Below are topics (including but not limited to) that are being covered at the event:

I would LOVE to hear about anyone of those topics! I know many, many other people out there that would love to learn more about those topics too. If you are in that boat, the event is being held April 4-7. And the best part – it’s online, for FREE! You don’t even have to leave your house. This is becoming a trend for events, and I couldn’t be happier since I can’t make it to too many things. You can find out more about the event (and register!) at this link here.
