CannaPortugal is a very important cannabis event for connecting Latin America and Europe.

Marcelo de Vita Grecco, Founder of GreenHub, Brazil

Events like CannAzores and CannaPortugal are the right places to change people's mentality and steer cannabis cultivation and industries towards regenerative practices that ensure the quality of products, while also protecting Mother Nature.
