Our Orlando video production company captured the Florida Cannabis Coalition’s fourth conference, CannaDay Tampa Bay, held on August 22 in Ybor City, a historic neighborhood in Tampa, Florida. The event brought together a diverse group of participants, including activists, entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, and patients, all focused on discussing the future of medical cannabis in Florida.
This Cannabis conference, hosted at The Cuban Club like its predecessor, featured a more intimate group of attendees, leading to a more engaging experience. The focus of each conference has been on Amendment 2, aimed at making Florida the next state to legalize medical marijuana.
Attendees had the opportunity to meet influential figures such as The CannaMoms, who are in great need of medical cannabis benefits, and Adam Bierman, President of The MedMen, who provided insights into the cannabis licensing industry. If Florida legalizes medical cannabis, it is projected to benefit approximately 420,000 patients, potentially ranking it third in the nation for medical cannabis access.
CannaDay Tampa Bay opened with the customary opening remarks from Florida Cannabis Coalition CEO, Tom Quigley. He addressed attendee questions and discussed the success of previous conferences. Following Tom, the CannaMoms shared stories about their children, their illnesses, and the ongoing fight for medical cannabis legalization in Florida to aid their sick children. Attendees learned about the inefficacy of FDA-approved drugs and their adverse effects. The four parents expressed raw emotion as they articulated their reasons for medical cannabis legalization.
Other general sessions included a roadmap to regulation from Libertarian Candidate for Florida Attorney General Bill Wohlsifer, cannabinoid therapy and medical purposes of cannabis from Dr. Genester S. Wilson-King, MD, tips on working with changing laws from Greta Carter, founder of The Hope Clinics & Cannabis Training Institution, strains, concentrates, and science from plant scientist and Executive Director of Allele Seeds Research Tyler Markwart, Hemp 4 Water with, Steven Edmonds, Co-Founder of One Florida Foundation, and a legal discussion with Attorney’s Jason Sammis and Dominick Fariello.
In addition to the general sessions featuring guest speakers, attendees could participate in breakout sessions throughout the conference. These sessions offered a more intimate setting with invited speakers, allowing attendees to ask questions and receive specific valuable information about the medical cannabis industry.
CannaDay Tampa Bay concluded with CEO Tom Quigley, thanking attendees and providing insight into networking and business opportunities from previous conferences.
