About MarijuanaAware Education Events

Medical Marijuana Awareness Webinars are a series of online education events held by Florida medical marijuana experts with a mission to provide reliable information to patients in the comfort and safety of their own homes.

These online and free webinars exist to educate the public on the benefits of Florida medical marijuana via Zoom and Facebook Live. Professionals join us for live webinars with attendee Q&A sessions. Our recordings can be found on our Youtube channel.

Webinars are held each week on Wednesdays at 6 PM EST. While attending one of our webinars, patients have the ability to ask questions LIVE and get answers in real time. This offers a relaxed and casual approach for patients to find the answers they are looking for. Our webinars are geared to inform patients on the benefits of medical marijuna: how to use it, its components, applications and much more!

We hope that you can join us!

History of MarijuanaAware

Florida Medical Marijuana Awareness & Wellness Webinars were jump-started by Marc Matoza and Linda Bruce of Marijuana Med Today. They noticed that the majority of medical marijuana conferences being held through Florida were held for industry professionals, not the people in need of treatment, and didn’t provide much-needed educational information. Another realization was that most also had high admission costs, which effectively excluded many patients seeking a better understanding of cannabis beyond the prevalent social stigma.

Marc and Linda teamed up with MMTC and gathered a team of physicians, pharmacists, medical marijuana leaders, and patients to plan and host a series of conferences for free that would be approachable for people entirely new to medical cannabis, yet useful for long-time patients. Through a combination of speakers, practical product introduction, and interaction with medical experts and experienced patients, attendees can learn about how medical marijuana works within the human body and on different conditions, as well as how to navigate the system of laws and regulation surrounding medical marijuana prescriptions in Florida.
