Thirty-six vendors from the health and holistic field as well as cannabis-related businesses will be on hand for the Ohio Marijuana Expo: Cleveland that takes place from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday at Red Space. The event will also feature a meet-and-greet with rapper Wish Bone from the Grammy-winning local hip-hop group Bone Thugs N Harmony.

The Ohio Marijuana Expo Series aims to “spread awareness about the growing array of natural and holistic healthcare options available to Ohioans.”

“Our mission is to educate the public,” says Ohio Marijuana Card president Connor Shore in a press release. “With these events, we can bring together businesses and service providers to promote a shared vision of improving patient health through living a healthier and natural lifestyle.”

This will be the first event in the Ohio Marijuana Expo series. Ohio Marijuana Card will host events all across the state throughout 2019.

“The Ohio Marijuana Expo series will be a great opportunity to network and engage with medical cannabis advocates, patients, physicians, professionals, cultivators, dispensary operators, job seekers, and other healthcare providers, ” Shore says.

Tickets cost $10.
