THE INSTITUTIONAL CAPITAL & CANNABIS CONFERENCE, MIAMI BEACH, JANUARY 23-24, 2018
After a sold-out inaugural event in California, the most authoritative investor forum in the cannabis industry is making its East Coast debut in Miami Beach, Florida.
The first Institutional Capital & Cannabis Conference (IC3) drew investors and industry leaders to Silicon Valley where they gained critical insights into the fastest growing industry in North America. Cowen and Company projects legal marijuana sales will reach $50 billion annually by 2026, from an estimated $6 billion today. Marijuana is legal in some form in 29 states and Canada. Recreational use is legal in eight states, including the entire West Coast, and Canada is expected to legalize adult use in 2018. Public opinion in favor of legalization has reached record levels, and there is a growing movement within state legislatures and the U.S. Congress to end Prohibition.
MedMen, an industry leading cannabis management and investment firm, and IMN, a premier finance and investment conference organizer, have joined their expertise to bring a one-of-kind forum aimed at sophisticated investors seeking alternative asset classes and portfolio diversification. This event was created specifically with the needs of the institutional and accredited investor in mind.
The East Coast edition of IC3 will take place at the Fountainbleau Miami Beach. The program will provide an in-depth look into the emerging cannabis industry and show attendees how to evaluate investment returns in legal cannabis versus alternative investments.

In concentrated form, marijuana is now created into shatter, budder, wax, live resin, sap, rosin, keif, honeycomb, cold-water hash, bubble hash, solventless wax, ice wax, hash oil, clear, and oil. There are so many different marijuana and CBD derived products on the market today!
Extraxx Expo is dedicated to the process and production of extractions – for the extraction specialist and anyone entering into the manufacturing segment. If you’re just starting out in this side of the business, this Expo has it all! If you’re already producing extracts, this Expo will help step up your game by offering cutting-edge processing techniques that you can apply: from increasing yields, to new isolation techniques, to better end results.

High Times Cannabis Cup - Jamaica
2018-03-01 08:00 - 2018-03-04 17:00 | AR
The festival was founded in 1987 by Steven Hager, an American writer, activist, and strong proponent for the legalization of marijuana. He first conceived the event as a harvest celebration to promote the personal cultivation and use of cannabis. With such liberal drug laws in Amsterdam it came as no surprise when the city was announced as the host venue.
In 1988, Hager took on the role as editor of the High Times magazine, a name now synonymous with the Cup. Hager was also very active in the counterculture movement and by the sixth year he began introducing a spiritual aspect into the event. Each day at 4:20 (the U.S. penal code used for marijuana possession) people gather by the main stage for an open mic session. People are encouraged to exchange ideas and many of the speakers talk about how marijuana brings them closer to God.
In 1997, the Counterculture Hall of Fame was created to recognize those who had helped shape the movement. The inductions are made every year on Thanksgiving as part of the Cannabis Cup awards show. The first person to be inducted was reggae legend Bob Marley. Other notable inductees include Jack Kerouac, Louis Armstrong, and Bob Dylan.
In recent years the festival expanded internationally to the United States, first in the form of the High Times Medical Cannabis Cup, and then as the High Times Cannabis Cup (in states that have legalized recreational marijuana). The first event took place in San Francisco (natch) in 2010, and Cups now take place in Los Angeles, Denver, Seattle, Portland and beyond.

Despite recent changes in state policy, and with the increasing rate of cannabis use and its implications for health, the government has yet to legalize cannabis. With the continued enforcement of restrictive policies and regulations on research into the health benefits, it is important for those involved to understand the obstacles, in order to enhance product development.
