In addition to the competition, attendees enjoyed some stand up comedy from Seattle International Comedy Competition Finalist, Taylor Clarke, and a spectacular presentation from Dr. Ethan Russo, Research and Development Director at the International Cannabis and Cannabinoid Institute, which discussed the complicated nature of terpene profiles in addition to issues relating to pesticides in cannabis. We were all inspired and humbled by all of the wonderful, environmentally-conscious cannabis entrepreneurs that showed up to support this year's event! We will build on this energy as we focus on expanding our membership in 2018 and on the 2019 Legislative Session as we collectively develop and advocate for policies that will support sungrowers and environmental protections in Washington!
