Anyone going to this tomorrow? Sounds really interesting, check it out, I'm thinking I'll attend, some good speakers-Corry, Melamede, Jason Lauve (guy who recently got acquitted for 30+ oz's using the affirmative defense with Rob Corry as his lawyer). If I can glean any kind of new info or insight into my new canna-businesses and the law I'm all for it, learning rules!
