A duo of local cannabis enthusiasts and podcasters are looking to share some information about "cannabis 2.0" at a special event coming up this Saturday.
Local pharmacist Trevor Shewfelt and registered nurse Kirk Nyquist host the Reefer Medness podcast, where they bring on a wide array of medical experts, legal professionals, and cannabis advocates to talk about everything cannabis related.
This weekend, they're looking to host a unique event they've dubbed the "Reefer Medness Al Fresco Affair, A Cannabis 2.0 educational picnic"
Many aren't familiar with what "Cannabis 2.0" might refer to, and Trevor Shewfelt gives us a brief overview of the topic.
"The easiest way to think about it is cannabis you're not smoking. The most common things people probably would run into are edibles, but there are also topicals, something you'd rub on your skin, and extracts"
This topic will be discussed over a casual and conversational dinner, and aside from the knowledge that the two of them have, Trevor says they have a special guest speaker lined up as well.
"We're very excited to have one of our former guests from the podcast, Dr. Brent Guppy coming in from Winnipeg. He is a fascinating dude, he's got a PH.D, he's got previous experience in the pharma industry, and now the company he's with is called Biocisions, and they do lots of really interesting stuff. Everything from testing cannabis to cannabis 2.0 production"
This educational event will be taking place at a private location from 6 pm to 9 pm on June 10th.
Due to the nature of the subject matter, this will be a 19+ event, and ID will be checked for everyone at the door.
