Michigan Cannabis Industry Association, or MCIA, has a spot on their website where they post about upcoming events.
This association of cannabis for the state of Michigan knows what’s up, they are playing fully by the rules regarding the sales and medical benefits of cannabis and they have the board and legal team to prove it.
Gone are the days when cannabis doesn’t have science and research to back the validity of its use. MCIA is helping to get people to keep up with the times.
In Conclusion
It’s great to get out of the house and connect with like-minded people over shared love of cannabis culture.
There are always more events being added throughout Michigan, both in person and online.
