Her much anticipated Keynote Address will take place on Thursday, September 17th at 2pm. The CWCBExpo in LA is the leading event for the legalized and medical marijuana industries.

“We are thrilled to have Melissa Etheridge Keynote at CWCBExpo in LA. Not only is she an iconic rock star, but also a very successful entrepreneur and advocate within the legalized cannabis industry. Her historic keynote will be enormously well received and very captivating,” said Christine Ianuzzi, Managing Partner of Leading Edge Expositions, LLC, and Show Director for CWCBExpo.
A cancer survivor, Etheridge has publicly spoken about the medicinal value of cannabis in her recovery and is launching her own line of canna-products including a marijuana-infused wine.
“Melissa Etheridge is a perfect fit for CWCBExpo in LA. Her personal journey with medical marijuana and belief in the industry’s impact and business potential will resonate with our attendees,” said Dan Humiston, President of International Cannabis Association (ICA) and sponsors of CWCBExpo.
