The Cannabis Expo returns to the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg this weekend.
There will be over 100 exhibitors, a cannabis food market, a symposium, and several educational and insightful talks aimed at business and the community.
The expo aims to educate people that, contrary to the stigma, cannabis has several uses that extend far beyond recreational use.
“People don’t realise just how versatile this plant is, and how many different uses it actually has.”
– Silas Howarth, Founder and Organiser – Cannabis Expo
“It’s a controversial plant, well, it certainly used to be... but attitudes have changed so much towards cannabis over the past few years, and it’s really incredible to see how this massive industry has grown around it.”
– Silas Howarth, Founder and Organiser – Cannabis Expo
Tickets are still available on Howler.
Strictly no under 18s.
