Forrest Hurd and Douglas Reil, founding members of the California Compassion Coalition, have been on the front lines working to restore compassionate use and establish compliant pathways for programs serving the most vulnerable communities in California. In this workshop, they will explore the history of compassion programs, the impacts of legalization, the work with the Bureau of Cannabis Control and legislators to address the needs of vulnerable communities, and possible future models for approaches to bring effective cannabis therapies to all.

Key areas we will cover include:

• The Prop 215 era and the foundations of compassionate use
• Prop 64 and the impact of legalization on compassion programs
• Updates on the fight to establish a compliant pathway to serve vulnerable communities
• Future visions for cannabis healthcare that is holistic, community-oriented, and patient-focused
