RED BANK, NJ: The Red Bank Mayor’s Wellness Campaign, in partnership with Canopy Crossroad Dispensary, is set to kick off its inaugural speaker series with an educational presentation titled “The Wonder Weed: Basic Biology and Ecology of Cannabis.”
This insightful event will be led by Richard J. Buckley, a plant science expert from Rutgers University, on Tuesday, November 26, at 6:30 PM at the Red Bank Senior Center.
As one of humanity’s earliest cultivated plants, Cannabis sativa has been prized for its fibers, oils, and psychoactive properties. With the plant’s recent decriminalization and legalization in New Jersey, understanding its biology and potential applications has become increasingly relevant.
