This week, cannabis companies, buyers, press and enthusiasts were supposed to gather in Palm Spring for a top industry event - Hall of Flowers.


That was canceled as a result of COVID19, resulting in the loss of key networking opportunities and dollars.

With 420 coming up fast, many are quickly trying to figure out how to celebrate in a social distanced world, according to MJ Biz Daily.


The outlet reports various digital strategies including:
