The inaugural National Cannabis Industry Association’s Infused Products and Extraction Symposium kicked off last night with a cocktail reception and networking event; today, the symposium started in earnest with two different tracks for attendees. “This is an area of the industry that’s creating a lot of conversations right now,” says NCIA deputy director Taylor West, “so the timing is great for this. And it’ll be a great opportunity for people in that sector to compare notes about how they’re planning for the complicated regulatory future.”
West says that after the first-ever NCIA national conference in June, the organization started brainstorming sector-specific events for members. “A lot of our members are pretty experienced,” notes West, “and the Cannabusiness 101 lectures are too simple for them. So we wanted to start creating some events that allow for a deep dive into parts of the industry that are important — and infused products is obviously a large and rapidly growing sector of the industry.”

Narcotics agents say the Florida men were acting nervous during the stop, which prompted agents to call out a drug dog, Xena. (BAD DOG!)
