Cooney, to help provide CAURD licensees and future dispensary applicants with the necessary education and resources to open a New York State compliant adult-use cannabis dispensary.
Each event will include a dispensary installation allowing visitors to see, touch and experience a compliant dispensary built to reflect New York regulations. This event is part of an ongoing adult-use dispensary education experience aimed at communities across the state as well as cannabis retail dispensary licensees and applicants interested in New York’s adult-use cannabis industry. This ongoing event series is important to the New York cannabis industry in a number of ways:
Hands-On Retail Dispensary Experience: The Adult-Use Cannabis Retail Dispensary Showroom and Educational Experience will physically show what an adult-use dispensary needs to be fully compliant in New York. A life-sized dispensary will be built based on current regulations. Education will be based on state regulations and are subject to change.

Thought Leadership Series: Cannabis & Veterans
2023-06-15 16:00 - 17:00 | Virtual
There is a complex challenge facing our nation’s veterans, as an alarming number are taking their own lives.

Cannabis is proven as a safe and common-sense personal health management option, free of the devastating side effects of opiate-based drugs. Now legal in the majority of US states, cannabis is recognized by a growing number of health organizations as a safer alternative to many federally legal treatments.
Join our leadership panel to learn how veterans and the cannabis industry are working together to improve the quality of life for U.S. military veterans, and provide safe and legal access.

Federal Cannabis Policy Crash Course
2023-06-10 09:30 - 13:30 | Boston Public Library, 700 Boylston St, Boston, MA, 02116, United States
Join us on Saturday, June 10th from 9:30am to 1:30pm at the historic Boston Public Library for Parabola Center’s debut crash course on federal legalization.
If the national legalization of marijuana is indeed inevitable in America, then it’s time to ask the next question: Who gets to write those laws, and who will benefit?
Already, aspiring weed billionaires and powerful corporations like Amazon and Altria (aka Philip Morris) are hounding Congress to pass bills that would let them be the first to profit from federal legalization— leaving behind small business owners and the many communities that were torn apart by decades of overpolicing.
It’s time to fight back. Parabola Center is bringing together a group of the country’s top drug policy experts to dissect the current political landscape and chart a better course toward comprehensive federal cannabis reform that centers all of us, not Wall Street gamblers.
Come ready to hear from small business owners, lifelong advocates, and policymakers at this half-day crash course. You’ll leave with a toolkit that will empower you to take action and make a difference in the coming fight to legalize marijuana the right way.
This event is open to the public. Tickets are $10 to cover the cost of the venue. All tickets must be purchased in advance and cannot be purchased at the door. Food is not provided.
Want to co-host this event? Reach out to info@parabolacenter.com to learn more.
