About the Event
Reatech + Expo Brasil Paralímpico opens space for a topic that is rapidly evolving in Brazil and around the world: the therapeutic use of medical cannabis. Cannabis in Focus: Health and Inclusion is born as an arena for transformative dialogue, bringing together experts, families, patients, healthcare professionals, legal experts, and companies committed to discussing science, inclusion and quality of life.
More than a lecture series, the project represents a information and awareness campaign, which seeks to break down barriers, combat prejudices and present the scientific and clinical evidence that support medicinal cannabis as a safe and effective alternative in different health treatments.
In partnership with Flor da Vida Medicinal Cannabis Association — headquartered in Franca (SP) and a national reference since 2019 in clinical, legal, and emotional support — the event offers an approach humanized and inclusive, which is part of medical guidance, legal support, emotional monitoring, and real experiences of patients and families.
O Cannabis in Focus it is, therefore, a space of applied knowledge, exchange of experiences, and strengthening of support networks, which reaffirms Reatech's commitment to giving voice to emerging, inclusive, and transformative issues.
More than an event, it is a milestone in the integration of science, health, inclusion, and human rights.
