The Word Cannabis Conferences were born to fulfill the necessity to materialize all theadvancements and efforts made in regards to cannabis over the last few years.

We will be able to go deep into the different dimensions of cannabis and its evolution throughlectures and open forums organized in themes.

Since we are living in such important times in Spain, we think it’s essential to approach cannabispolicy from a national and international standpoint, understand the issues through a legal andscientific view to achieve better understanding of the potential and viability of regulation, understandthe medical needs of patients and analyze the huge progress done despite prohibition.
