"Susan Soares, the beloved marijuana advocate and ringmaster of the day's events: a casual and intimate southern California conference called The State of Cannabis
Soares is the kind of affable, sincere person you just want to say yes to – even when you're high as balls and not quite sure you'll be able to form coherent sentences. And I tend to take the reason we had all come together – to do some soul-searching about the Golden State's most valuable crop – rather seriously. Along with the usual cannabis entrepreneurs, investors, and activists, there were several mayors, prosecutors, and previously prohibitionist government types in attendance." Amanda Chicago Lewis, Rolling Stone Magazine

Get Your Tickets TODAY!
Early ticket buying is SO important. There are a lot of cannabis conferences out there to choose from. If we have the support from the audience early, it ensures that this conference is the one that goes beyond your expectations. Most attendees stay on the ship so we'll have 48 hours together in this intimate, exclusive, educational event. The Friends and Family ticket is only for the first 100 ticket buyers. I know many people expect tickets to be complimentary if you know the producers but if we did that, we wouldn't be able to comp all the elected officials that want to attend and we're sure that is better for all of us. So come on F&F, get your ticket today for $199.00. That's $1 less than it costs me for you to be there!!
