Grow Your Own Book Launch & Cannabis Community Fair

Join us at Holocene Portland to celebrate the awesome people and organizations putting science and education FIRST when it comes to cannabis. The Cannabis Community Fair is the launch party for GROW YOUR OWN: UNDERSTANDING, CULTIVATING, AND ENJOYING CANNABIS (out from Tin House Books this September) and a chance to meet, mingle, and learn with the folks who are transforming the cannabis industry here in the Pacific Northwest. This event is free and 21+. Party highlights: * Short & sweet presentations on everything from talking with budtenders and mapping the cannabis genome to growing your own, improving women's sexual health through cannabis, and much more. Speakers include Emma Chasen (Farma), Mary J Poppins (Sativa Science Club) Lena Davidson (Botanica PDX), Nichole Graf (Raven Grass), Andi Bixel (Drip Ice Cream), Meghan Miller and Alisha Holloway (Phylos Bioscience), April Pride (Van der Pop) and other inspiring women in the cannabis industry. * Fun, interactive booths representing an incredible range of nonprofits, businesses, and culinary experts— Make & Mary ™, Phylos Bioscience, Botanica Seattle, Van der Pop, Broccoli Magazine, Hana Medicinals, and more. * A hands-on terpene station sponsored by Pearl Extracts — learn about these aromatic cannabis compounds and gain confidence in selecting strains based on their terpene profiles. * Holocene's signature "Grow Your Own" cocktails and gourmet delicacies courtesy of Botanica Seattle. * DJ Jimbo spinning good tunes. And of course, you'll have a chance to buy your copy of GROW YOUR OWN and get it signed by the authors. (Curious about GROW YOUR OWN by Nichole Graf, Micah Sherman, David Stein, and Liz Crain?
