It was great to see so many in our Cape and cape-adjacent cannabis community at NECANN, the New England Cannabis Convention. Many Cape Codders attended the annual gathering in Boston, held this year on March 10-13 at the Hynes Convention Center.
Cannabis on Cape Cod board members Spencer Knowles and Anna Meade stopped by the Suncrafted booth
Suncrafted Cannabis, In Good Health, and Coast Cannabis had popular booths showcasing their products. Cape-owned Eagle Eyes Transportation’s booth featured Montel Williams, a TV personality who uses cannabis to manage his MS for 20 years.

NECANN also hosts seminars on cannabis and related topics next to the exhibit hall. Cape Cod local Ellen Brown’s Green Path Training was the official Responsible Vendor Training instructor. There was a good turnout for her Core Curriculum, a 4-hour course required for all cannabis employees.
