Cannabis advocates plan global synopsium at Tweed Heads

Tweed Heads will play home to the annual United In Compassion Medicinal Cannabis Synopsium on the 22nd to 24th March. Worldwide renowned specialists, internationally recognised researchers and doctors at the forefront of the medical marijuana revolution will all be in attendance at the event. Some of the keynote speakers include:

• Dr Donald I. Abrams - a past Professor of Clinical Medicine at the University of California San Francisco
• Cam Battley - Chief Corporate Officer of Aurora Cannabis
• Dr Graham Gulbransen - opened the first medical cannabis service in Aotearoa, NZ
• Dr Teresa Towpik - founder of MediHuanna, an organisation that provides science-based medicinal cannabis education for Health Professional,
• and many more

One Moonta Bay local and cannabis advocate, Dianah Walter, will be heading over and taking part in the event. She explains those in attendance will be sharing their skills, expertise, and knowledge in one of the fastest growing industries in the world.

What people forget or maybe don't know or understand, is that cannabis- one of the most therapeutically useful plants on the planet- has a history of use going back thousands of years. In the West from the mid 1900s up until the 20^th century, it was the single most commonly used medicine available. You'd find it in just about everything. The intention is to restore it to its rightful place in the pharmacopoeia, and events like the 2019 symposium will help us achieve exactly that.
