The third annual Connecticut Cannabis Expo comes to Mohegan Sun Feb. 24 and 25, featuring a cannabis business convention, trade show and the X Cup, a judged cannabis competition.
The events will offer networking opportunities and panel discussions about the current cannabis political climate, existing and new legislation business opportunities, and visitors can attend educational and informational seminars while learning more about the production of marijuana, cannabis, hemp, and CBD goods.
The award ceremony for the X Cup, described as “New England’s most rigorously tested and judged cannabis competition” with seven categories of entry, takes place Sunday, recognizing some of the top cannabis products from the region.
The expo runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $20 per day, or $30 for a weekend pass. Attendees must be 18 or older. For more details, visit xpocann.com.
Connecticut has more than two dozen cannabis dispensaries, with more being approved in towns and cities around the state. In October, recreational cannabis sales in Connecticut set a record. Recreational sales increased by $354,966 from $14.4 million in September to $14.7 million in October. Sales of medical cannabis, by contrast, decreased $692,834, from $10.8 million in September to $10.1 million in October.
The average price of legal cannabis products in Connecticut has steadily decreased, hitting $37.55 for the average recreational cannabis product and $36.48 for medical cannabis, as of early November.
And, Connecticut cannabis consumers will soon see a change. There is currently a quarter-ounce per transaction limit on recreational cannabis purchases, meaning any customer purchasing legal recreational cannabis may buy no more than a quarter ounce at any one time.
