Spannabis is an annual cannabis event held in Spain that has been held in Barcelona since 2002.[1] It is the biggest cannabis event in Europe.[2]
In Spannabis you can find products related to the hemp plant, its industrial uses - cosmetics, footwear, textiles, building materials, food -, crops -bonds, seeds, farming systems, etc.-, recreational consumption and use as phytotherapy.[1] In addition, lectures are given during the conference to discuss topics such as its use in herbal medicine, research on its active ingredients, cultivation and consumption, and risk reduction.[1]
Sports Illustrated described the event as "part trade show, part research conference and 100% festival of copious cannabis consumption".[3]
History
[edit]
In 2002, the first Spannabis was held at the Palau Sant Jordi. The second edition of Spannabis was held at the Fira de Cornellá, where it has been held ever since.[1]
In 2011, Italian politicians protested against the celebration of Spannabis and requested explanations from the then Spanish Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.[4]
During the following editions, Spannabis was consolidated and the exhibition space has been extended to reach 13,000 m2 until 2015[5] and in 2017 it has been expanded to reach 18,000 m2.[6] There were 35,000 visitors in 2014[7] and 30,000 visitors in 2017 and 2018.[6][2][8] In 2019 there were 282 companies represented.[9] The 6th edition of the World Cannabis Conferences took place on the Cannabis in 2019.[10]
The 2020 Spannabis convention will be held in March 2022, as well as the 2022 World Cannabis Conference.[11]
