To the best of our knowledge, while Grand Rapids has lots to celebrate regarding the decriminalization of marijuana in our city, we have very few celebratory events organized around the topic of 420.
Well, that changes when on Friday, 4/20, 4:00 p.m. Canna Communications—a multifaceted, women-owned communication agency serving cannabis businesses in Michigan—welcomes to downtown’s Gallery Divani Bruce Barcott of
Leafly—a cannabis news and research site.
Bruce Barcott is a Guggenheim Fellow in nonfiction and the author of “Weed the People: The Future of Legal Marijuana in America.” Since late 2015, he has served as Deputy Editor of Leafly and oversees the site’s news and cultural coverage, as well as chronicles the global evolution of cannabis legalization.
Barcott will be addressing the audience on the topic of “Everyday Wisdom from an Extraordinary Industry: Ten Hard-Learned Business Lessons from the First Year of Legal Marijuana.”
As Michigan prepares its voters to make a potential decision in November 2018 about the legalization of weed in our state, we cannot think of a better person than Barcott to help dispel the myths and fears about to be pedaled in our state around this emerging legal industry in America.
