Cannabis Safety: Fears & Facts

  Exploring 30 Years of Progress, Confronting Today's Challenges & Celebrating Those Shaping Tomorrow's Solutions

Featuring the Announcement of the 2026 Cannabis Safety Awards Winners

As we approach the 30th anniversary of the first statewide medical cannabis law, join Americans for Safe Access for a special webinar exploring what three decades of medical cannabis reform have taught us, the challenges ahead, and the people advancing cannabis safety.

Thirty years after patients helped launch a new era of medical cannabis reform, federal policy is entering another period of significant change. Renewed attention to cannabis' medical value is accompanied by growing concerns about product safety, health risks, youth exposure, and impaired driving. How can we address these concerns with facts, strengthen public health protections, and preserve the progress patients have fought to achieve?

Cannabis Safety: Fears & Facts will explore lessons learned from 30 years of medical cannabis reform, the evidence and expertise needed to address today's challenges, and the opportunities to shape safer, more effective policies.

The webinar will conclude with the announcement of the 2026 Cannabis Safety Award winners, recognizing individuals and organizations whose research, advocacy, education, and innovations are turning safety concerns into practical solutions.

Join us as we honor three decades of patient-driven progress, recognize today's cannabis safety leaders, and look toward a future where public policy is shaped by facts, not fear.
