In order to collect feedback and input from the agricultural sector in northeastern Vermont, members of the Vermont cannabis control board, legislative leaders, and cannabis industry specialists will convene an interactive discussion and networking session at Burke Mountain on Thursday, August 19 from 6-8pm.

The goal of the event is to gather pragmatic feedback and input about the formation of the legal Vermont cannabis industry and how to best capture its potential for the northeast kingdom and other rural communities.

Sample topics include cultivation challenges and recommendations for licensing; costs and realities of cannabis production; integrating food producers and cannabis; and integrating tourism and legal cannabis.

The event is free and open to all interested members of the public, who are asked to please RSVP at www.vermontijuana.com
