MoCann BizCon + Expo 2020

Wow.

So, I drove all the way to St. Louis from Kansas City to attend this MoCann BizCon and expo at union station.

I spent the first night at a mixer hosted by MoCannTrade, which was basically an opportunity for members to get together, network, chat and just have a good time.

The following day was the first day of the actual expo. I was able to go to the morning keynote speech, attend a couple of seminars about hiring and retaining employees, and then I saw the afternoon keynote speech with Max Montrose from Trichome Institute.

The expo floor itself was full of various different companies representing all aspects of the cannabis industry. Many of these booths had free gear and swag (not to mention some tasty treats and non-medicated samples of edibles).

After the expo wrapped up for the day, there was a mixer for all participants. It was a nice opportunity to have a beverage and chitchat with like-minded people. Additionally, there was a rewards ceremony and small reception to end the evening on a high note.

Day 2 was a lot like the 1st, but I ended up heading home before the expo was officially over. There were so many great people and amazing vendors, not to mention a generally happy vibe throughout.

One of my favorite things about the expo was seeing all the passion. Vendors were engaging and informative and many of them had neat swag to give away.

Amongst all the smiles and camaraderie, there was an underlying tinge of excitement. I think everyone is ready to get this show on the road and get medicine to the 35k+ Missourians who’ve acquired their med card.

All in all, it was a fantastic experience and I’m looking forward to seeing what happens with a Missouri Cannabis in the coming months.

Watching things grow

As Missouri moves forward with the medical cannabis industry, I’m hoping that many more wonderful groups will be able to take part in this exciting new endeavor. It’s always exhilarating to witness something new happen, watch how people work together for the greater good and see groups get rewarded for all of their hard work.

It’s amazing to see how many forward-thinking companies have been given their licenses in Kansas City. It’s very humbling, I’m sure, for many of these companies that did not receive their license. However, I’m positive that many of them see this as an opportunity to make improvements and changes to their original plans. Expanding upon already wonderful ideas and helping bridge the gap between what we were told and what is actually true about cannabis.

As more and more cannabis entrepreneurs & visionary’s are coming into the scene, My wish is that they can continue to work together for better, higher quality medicine, viable testing/quality control and the End of the unnecessary prohibition of cannabis.

It is my sincere hope that people like myself will be able to help others understand how beneficial this is to our community and to humans in general. Someday, I will be traveling this world and sharing how wonderful cannabis truly is. I would be delighted if you’d join me.

Thank you for reading & have a rad day!

Cannabis Industry Showcase

I had the pleasure of attending the Cannabis Industry Showcase in Kansas City this weekend. The schedule was packed full of engaging speakers and a plethora of #CannabisIndustry information; From Compliance to Hiring, when/how to advertise and to find your place in this fast-growing industry as both an employee and employer.

I spent a fair amount of time listening to some of the industry’s experts recall the roadblocks they dealt with, as well as how they managed to move past those roadblocks and persevere. Speakers like Max from The Trichome Institute made a point of snuffing out many of the misconceptions and misinformation regarding cannabis, as well as providing loads of factual, scientific evidence.

Wy Livingston shared a compelling and informative speech “You don’t have to get high to see green”, which focused on the many ways to monetize your passion for cannabis without having to consume it in traditional methods.

MoCannTrade booth at the Expo

The Expo housed many companies and businesses that have found their niche in the Cannabis industry. A group close to my heart MoCannTrade, had a wonderful booth with a ton of great canna-gear. There were booths from local security like CST Solutions, to many other experts who specialize in Cannabis. I saw companies like Simplifya who focus on Compliance (an often tricky aspect of this industry), and New Growth Insurance, an insurance group that specializes in Cannabis, Hemp, & CBD only insurances.

Additionally, a local Mechanical Engineering/Contracting & HVAC “Design Mechanical” had a booth dedicated to designing and installing Cultivation Facilities, focusing on increasing yield and efficiency while providing the highest quality design work for KC’s Cannabis Companies/Businesses.

Day 2, I found myself bouncing around The Oliver Building, listening to various informative discussions on Cannabis. My favorite speech of the day was from Sarara Corva, “Consumption and Over-Consumption” — Sarara provided a lot of beneficial information regarding cannabis consumption and generously offered samples of UnDoo “the greened out antidote”

Overall, the Cannabis Industry Showcase was educational and engaging. I’m eagerly awaiting the official licensing for many hopeful local Missouri cannabis companies, as well as the end to marijuana prohibition in the USA.

I sincerely appreciate the experience I had this weekend and cannot wait to see what KCMO shows us in the coming months/years. Thanks for reading & stay tuned for more!

Your friendly, neighborhood Cannabis Consort
