Puff, Puff, Lend: Cannabis Culture and the Library Collection
Friday, April 8, 2016, 10:45 AM - 11:45 AM
Colorado Convention Center, Room 102/104/106
Got weed? Of course not! Should you have High Times magazine? Why not? Many customers have questions about marijuana and its usage, but how can they become informed? Are there any local resources that inform consumers about strains for consumption? What materials do you have on growing, cultivating, or cooking marijuana and how did you choose them? Relax and learn about growing, business, use, science, law, and activism. Come for the information on local programs in your community or your local library, but stay for the “Book and Bud” pairings.
At the end of this session, participants will:
1: Know criteria for picking cannabis materials.
2: Learn program possibilities - including cooking and crafting.
