The marijuana industry gathered in New York City this June for the Cannabis World Congress and Business Exposition, a two-day event in which brands, politicians, business leaders, and advocates come together to share ideas to move the industry forward. It’s been called "the leading trade show and conference for the legalized cannabis, medical marijuana, and industrial hemp industries," and events like CWCB are more important than ever, especially since we are facing an uncertain future under the White House's new occupant.

So, experiencing FOMO yet? Don’t worry, because MERRY JANE News was on hand to catch up with the exhibitors in attendance—like Advanced Nutrients and Greenspoon Marder—to talk to them about their place within the cannabis industry and community, and what they’re bringing to the table.

From tips on home cultivation, to how to find lawyers to help you get licensed to grow, check out the second installment of our series covering the CWCB (catch part one here), and get a look at the biggest cannabis event in town.
