The event took place at Potshotz, a local cannabis consumption space, THC beverage bar, and dispensary. It was the ideal setting for an all day event, that easily transitioned to a social affair in the evening after the forum.

Overall, the Green Equity Forum was a valuable platform for industry leaders to come together, exchange ideas, and work towards a more equitable and sustainable cannabis market in Minnesota.
