"As a Georgia native and current resident, I am thrilled to meet and inform others about the positive impacts that medical cannabis may provide," Bailey said. "At each tour stop, Trulieve will seek to discover ways the company can work with community stakeholders [to] make an impact on local support programs, as well as educate local leaders about the benefits of the medical cannabis industry."
Expected in attendance will be state representatives, local government officials, and religious and nonprofit leaders. The community at large is encouraged to attend and submit questions in advance via email at [email protected]. Following each session, the outcomes will be evaluated to determine the best way for Trulieve to make a positive impact on the community. Other locations and dates will be announced.
