This week, New West Summit takes place in San Francisco at the Parc 55 Hotel. The two-day conference, which begins Friday, is taking a different approach from the many other events designed to bring the industry together and is focused upon technology, investment and media.

- Cannabis Editorial Trends
- Extraction and Vaporization Trends
