New Jersey Pioneers Dual Cannabis & Psychedelics Trade Show

Renowned New Jersey cannabis event producer Gary George is elevating his annual B2B trade show, The Real Cannabis Entrepreneur, by adding a psychedelic track to this year’s event. Taking place on October 18-19th at the DoubleTree Hotel in Newark, NJ, the show aims to equip forward-thinking entrepreneurs, investors, and industry newcomers with actionable insights into the rapidly evolving cannabis and psychedelics markets.

With psychedelics on a faster track to legalization than cannabis—thanks to growing recognition of their potential in addressing the global mental health crisis and support from the FDA in psychedelic drug trials—the addition of this track is timely. Currently, 25 states have introduced 74 bills addressing psychedelic reform, with New Jersey positioned to join trailblazers like Oregon and Colorado, which have already issued licenses for psilocybin edibles production.

By merging both industries under one event, The Real Cannabis Entrepreneur offers a unique, forward-thinking approach to plant-based medicine. With significant overlap in business opportunities and regulatory frameworks, the event provides invaluable educational content and networking for anyone seeking to enter or expand within these burgeoning sectors.
