Medical Marijuana Awareness Day Pensacola

Medical Marijuana Awareness Days are a series of conferences held throughout Florida with a goal to educate the public on the benefits of of medical marijuana with an accessible and balanced platform.

Click here for more information about the conference series.

MMAD Pensacola was the trial run of a new format for the conference. We cut the program down to its most useful components, got rid of the $10 entry thanks to some new sponsor, bumped up the interaction, and were able to hold 2 sessions of the event in one day! Two free sessions made for a very busy day at the venue, but the condensed lineup made it easier for more people to fit the whole thing into their days and join us!
