Both movements have not only provided safe havens for marginalized communities but also catalyzed economic empowerment and positioned New York as a beacon of progressive change & culture. Together, they encapsulate the spirit of New York as a vibrant, inclusive and forward thinking hub that celebrates diversity and paves the way for a more equitable future for one and all. This must be celebrated.
And, celebrating is what we’re going to do. We’re bringing together the leading operators, brands, processors and service providers at the forefront of New York’s cannabis industry to honor the struggle and celebrate the progress that’s been achieved in 2023 and all that’s in store for 2024.

National Interdisciplinary Cannabis Symposium

This year we hold the Symposium in the beautiful city of Portland, Oregon. Oregon was the first state to decriminallize cannabis in 1970s and one of the first states to legalize cannabis adult use in 2014.
There are now several pending Congressional Bills related to cannabis including decriminalisation and rescheduling of the drug.
Thirty- eight states have some form of medical marijuana. 23 States, D.C. Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and Tribal nations now have adult use marijuana laws with many others exploring legislation for recreational marijuana for 2023-24 .
These continued changes in laws are impacting our courts and society. It is also creating a dynamic and some times confusing landscape for various disciplines including Law Enforcement, Judges, The Legal Profession, In House Counsel, Drug Court Professionals, the Drug and Alcohol Testing Industry, Academia, and Human Resource Associations & Organisations.
The Symposium brings together all of these disciplines who bring with them a variety of viewpoints. The Byline for the Symposium is therefore “Educating One Another.” This year we have extended our Partnerships and have broadened the participation to include toxicologists, MDs and attorneys. We also have a professional Facilitator for the discussion breakouts and an inaugural Award called the Symposium Education Award (SEA). We hope that you join us and enjoy the Symposium!
The revenue generated from this Symposium will be used to cover the cost and seed money. Any excess funds will be donated to 501(C)(3)s. Thanks to all who have made a contribution to it.
