Public outreach and education

A substantial portion of ACCM’s budget is used to promote and educate the public about medical cannabis and to foster a positive public image for the medical cannabis industry. ACCM maintains regular contact with the nation’s media by providing them with medical, technical and industry information and research advances, photographs, and story ideas.    

ACCM also coordinates joint promotions with other organizations, produces brochures, and publishes consumer-orientated materials.  

In addition, ACCM holds legislative and media seminars to expose legislators and top editors and writers to cutting-edge industry trends and to provide valuable information to seminar participants about  medical cannabis and how the industry operates.    

 All New in Winter 2023, ACCM will also maintain a leading industry online publication called the Medical Cannabis News Network www.mcnnreports.com industry-leading commentators, reports, papers, articles and information on general industry advances. For Summer 2023 ACCM will designate “The week of Aug. 20-26 as the 3rd Annual - National Medical Cannabis Awareness Week” as the industry’s consumer outreach initiative conducted through thought leaders, industry operators, and the national press.
