I took a couple of field trips this month related to learning more about cannabis and how it may affect our city if retail, commercial grows, testing, and edible production are implemented. I learned a lot and will share some of the highlights with you.

We met for two hours and our talk was primarily centered on their experiences with the legalization of cannabis in Breckenridge.
