Dear Friend,
Despite the disappointment of not being able to host an in-person
Unity conference this December we believe that our planned panels are
too important to wait until we can meet again. Because of that we have
decided to produce the same panels but host them in an online
webinar.
The silver lining of this shift to a webinar is that we can offer a
new online ticket that will still get you access to all this great
content, but at a much lower cost. Plus, each panel will be
followed by 30 minutes of Live Q&A with the presenters,
so that you can get all your burning questions answered.
Going along with our theme of celebrating 20 years of advocacy, out
panels center around the timeline of Yesterday, Today, and
Tomorrow.
-
Yesterday- How Advocates Helped Change the Conversation of
Medical Cannabis
Since 2002, ASA and our group of
grassroots advocates have helped create the space for medical cannabis
access. In this panel you will hear from past ASA members on the many
obstacles that we had to fight through to get to where we are
today.
-
Today- What’s Working for Patients
Americans for
Safe Access and countless other advocates have, through their
dedication and courage, created a system of medical cannabis access
across most of our country. US patients' ability to access cannabis is
broader than ever before. This panel will discuss the elements of our
current medical cannabis regime that are actually serving
patients.
-
Today- Current Challenges Faced by the Medical Cannabis
Marketplace & Patients
While the political landscape
is constantly changing around cannabis policy these advances are not
always beneficial for patients and patient issues. In fact, patients
are not only being left behind, in some arenas, they have been
taken out of the conversation altogether.
-
Tomorrow- The World We Envision, Safe and Affordable Access
for All
While we struggle in the US to pass federal
legislation, over 40 countries have passed federal medical cannabis
programs. In this panel, experts from two of these countries will
share their experiences in how they utilized research and clinical
experience to integrate cannabis into their countries’ health care
infrastructures.
We hope you’ll help us make the most of these panels by joining in
and engaging with our incredible panelists and your fellow
attendees.
