Registration for exhibitors is now open for the second annual Oregon Cannabis Growers' and Consumers' Fair (OCGCF), which will take place on August 12-13 at the Oregon State Fairgrounds, according to OCGCF producer Mary Lou Burton.
The central feature of the show will be Oregon's cannabis live plant competition, which, at last year's event was the first of its kind on the planet. The live plant competition will showcase more than 60 of the state's premier cannabis growers competing for awards, including indica, sativa, hybrid and CBD celebrity judges will include: Mark Herer ("Emperor of Hemp" Jack Herer's son), Farmer Tom and Antonio Harvey.
"Last year's Growers' Fair was critical in helping Oregon to become 'the model cannabis state,'" Burton said. "And there has been positive economic impact since then, as it drew out-of-state visitors and increased cannabis tourism."
This year's event will also feature "Canna Help You," an exhibit wherein a licensed medical professional with experience in cannabis will provide information and education for attendees to discuss with their primary care providers regarding cannabis as a wellness supplement. Not a substitute for a doctor's office, this will be purely informative and educational for the purposes of destigmatizing the use of medical cannabis. There will be a full array of topicals, transdermal patches and edibles on display.
Additionally, OLCC's Recreational Marijuana Program will host a Q&A on Oregon's evolving regulatory environment.
One popular feature will be the Cannabis Connex and the Investor Speed Dating Lounge. This is an opportunity for those needing funding to meet face-to-face with investors. There is no other organized form of networking, connecting and meeting the best in the industry.
