For three days, O’Higgins Park will host “EXPOWEED”, the 3rd version of the largest and most important hemp fair in South America. A space for meeting, information and debate on recreational, medicinal and industrial uses and the rights, freedoms, and drug policy around cannabis. Everyone is invited to participate in EXPOWEED. THE FAIR With more than 50 stands, in 6,000 covered square meters, national and foreign companies will exhibit the latest developments in the field. In line with the experiences of Barcelona, Madrid, Amsterdam, Prague and Los Angeles, EXPOWEED 2014 will bring together the most important companies in the hemp sector, all the stores in the grow sector in the country and the widest variety of alternative technologies.
