Legacy Cannabis Genetics Spring Tour In San Diego: A first-of-its-kind research study of California’s cannabis history, communities and botany, the Legacy Cannabis Genetics study (LCG)…announced the next step in its community engagement efforts, a series of live, in-person, statewide community events. Driven by an inclusive Community Based Participatory Research model—which includes community members, organizational representatives, and academic researchers working in an equitable partnership for all aspects of the research process—these Community Meetings will gather legacy cannabis pioneers, stakeholders, and future industry leaders for intensive two-day collaborations to expand and further the work being done by the LCG study.
“We recognize that the communities we serve are the experts,” says Origins Council Executive Director Genine Coleman. “By going to the people who have devoted themselves to the plant for generations, we are able to implement a rigorous academic approach to understanding cannabis’ legacy in the Golden State. Our Community Meetings will help to uncover the very human story of this remarkable plant in California and help to introduce leaders and pioneers to the greater public in order to help shape community and shared understanding.”
