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."

Events like CWCB are more now important than ever, especially since the cannabis industry is facing an uncertain future under the White House’s new occupant.

Experiencing FOMO yet? Don’t worry, because MERRY JANE News was on hand to catch up with the exhibitors in attendance—like CBD For Life, Boveda, and Vangst—to talk about their place in the cannabis industry and community, and what they’re bringing to the table.

From methods of controlling pain with CBD, to helpful tips on how to land a marijuana industry job, watch the first installment of our series covering the CWCB, and get a peek at the biggest cannabis event in town.
