Friends of the Farm Lecture Series

The Friends of the Farm Lecture Series is an educational cannabis webinar and interview series created to provide accessible learning about cannabis culture, science, and industry topics. It was originally called the Farmacy Cannabis Lecture Series and later expanded under the Friends of the Farm name.

The Friends of the Farm Lecture Series is a free educational program featuring guest experts who speak about different aspects of cannabis—ranging from science and safety to culture, wellness, and business. The goal is to give viewers “a small and in-depth dose of cannabis education” so they become more informed consumers and community members.

The series features a mix of: scientists, cultivators, educators, entrepreneurs and wellness practitioners.

The overall goal of the lecture series is to normalize thoughtful cannabis education, provide expert-led conversations for the public, and highlight innovation, culture, and responsible consumption in the cannabis community.
