MJ Biz

If you are a first-time attendee at the MJ Biz conference or even if you are a veteran, we are going to try to help streamline your time at the event. Green Market Report has pulled together the top ten things you must put in your calendar while at the convention center. You’re welcome. 

HOF

Hall of Flowers, California’s highly-anticipated B2B trade show, returned to the Sonoma County fairgrounds in, September after a Covid-mandated hiatus. The show, beloved by the cannabis community, as well as the industry, is known for showcasing some of the state’s most popular cannabis brands. There were some noticeable absentees this year as people are still cautious about participating in events due to Covid-19 variants. Despite the caution, the turnout was impressive. Some brands are also being hit hard by the rock-bottom prices of cannabis flower. Sunrise Mountain Farms were noticeably absent, which they attributed to the significant drop in wholesale flower prices.
