CANNABIS CULTURE – The 2011 Treating Yourself Medical Marijuana and Hemp Expo was the largest marijuana trade show Canada has ever seen, and CC‘s video cameras were fully charged and aimed at all the weedy fun and excitement. Here’s the good stuff.

The 2nd-Annual Treating Yourself Expo took place from June 3 – 5 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Find more information about the show at the TY Expo website.

The 2nd-Annual Treating Yourself Medical Marijuana and Hemp Expo featured a who’s-who of the Canadian and international cannabis communities. This years event was packed tighter than a fat bowl and was a success by every measure. The CC crew can’t wait for next years event. Thanks to Marco Renda (organizer of the TY Expo, interviewed in this video) and the everyone at Treating Yourself.
