#CanndoraConnect Panel Highlights
Bringing Products to Market in Canada
A great name or strain is only the start, what does it actually take to bring a cannabis product to market in Canada? Our panelists discussed what are retailers and consumers looking for in a cannabis product and what holes are open in the current list of offerings. As well as how the process works and how to stand out in a crowded market.
Plant Medicine and Women: What does Science Say?
Gender differences have largely been left out of cannabis and psychedelics studies, as we know male and female bodies are drastically different and the lack of research & awareness of those key differentiators can cause major systemic issues in how we address women’s health such as more women dying of heart attacks and ADHD being underdiagnosed in girls. Our panelists dug deep into the benefits of plant medicine for women, sharing their own inspiring experiences as well as ways for women to thrive in the cannabis and psychedelics industries.
