About this talk

The stigma imprinted into our way of thinking about cannabis via the decades of propaganda and misinformation has been overshadowing the medical cannabis industry from the early days.

Medical professionals and other industry participants face this stigma as discrimination and other forms of judgement on a regular basis.

Many of our speakers share their thoughts on how this stigma affects their work, their patients and how we could work on moving beyond the stigma associated with medical cannabis.
