One of the most popular booths at MJBizCon was the Terpene Wall.

You could smell samples of every terpene to get better acquainted with you favorite flavors.

The MJBizCon after parties did not disappoint especially Willie Nelson’s Willie’s Reserve event.

Complete of course with budtenders serving up bongs and rolling joints for the guests but that’s not all.In addition to free Willie Nelson tattoos all night long!

High Times threw their own event called High Time’s Biz Bash at Brooklyn Bowl Vegas featuring a surprise performance by 2Chainz.

One of our favorite event highlights included “The Future of Hemp” with Joy Beckerman (seated in middle).

Following the successful three-day event, the organizers announced that next year’s MJBizCon in Las Vegas will expand to five days and move to December 9-13.

“The City of Las Vegas and Clark County have officially proclaimed the debut of ‘MJBizCon Week’ surrounding the annual MJBizCon Conference & Expo beginning in 2019,” they stated.

MJBizCon Vegas 2019 will become a weeklong event with many nightly parties worth attending. This year’s best parties included Willie’s Reserve, High Times Biz Bash, Grasslands and Cannabis Wonderland.
