The highlight of the event will be an onsite doctor's clinic, courtesy of Cannabis Doctor, offering medicinal cannabis prescriptions and dispensing services provided by Nga Hua Pharmacy. Additionally, a dedicated consumption area will allow attendees to explore the various cannabis products in a safe and welcoming environment.
