Mexico City - With cannabis gaining acceptance around the world, Mexico will step into the light with EXPOWEED, the country's premier medical cannabis event, at the World Trade Center in the heart of Mexico City.

EXPOWEED brings together some of the top thought leaders, brands, and manufacturers in the industry. There will be plenty to experience during the three-day event with industry experts covering topics from the healing power of cannabidiol to drug policy, as well as a lecture from the first person in Mexico to receive approval to use cannabis as medicine.

Everyone is welcome and there will certainly be opportunity for all to walk away with knowledge and products from a variety of categories including growing materials, smoking accessories, and apparel. Be sure to stop by the Weedmaps booth to say "HIGH."

EXPOWEED runs August 12, 13, and 14 at the World Trade Center, located at Montecito #38 in Mexico City's Colonia Naples.
