It\u2019s that time again! Cannabis & Tech Today<\/em>\u2019s Summer Emerge 2021 Virtual Cannabis Conference & Expo kicked off on June 22 with amazing panelists, networking, dancing, giveaways, and more.<\/p>\n

The day began with an update on the SAFE Banking Act by Congressman Ed Perlmutter of the Colorado 7th District, U.S. House of Representatives. His work with the SAFE Banking Act has and will continue to impact a great many people.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe purpose of this is so that the public is safer, so that marijuana businesses and those that provide services to marijuana businesses are safer, and that they don\u2019t face armed robberies and the potential for murders in their various establishments.,\u201d said Perlmutter.<\/p>\n

The SAFE Banking Act passed the House to the Senate by a bipartisan vote of 321 to 101. As dispensaries have to deal with masses of cash, instead of depositing into a bank, the cash has become a hazard. Perlmutter even remarked that in Colorado a young man was murdered over a cash dispute in a dispensary, there have been dozens of armed robberies, burglaries, and assaults due to the fluctuation of cash in the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The core purpose of the proposed Act is to deal with the collision between federal and state banking laws around marijuana. This Act is necessary for the growth and safety of the cannabis industry.<\/p>\n

The Virtual Platform<\/h2>\n

This conference is held on a platform called Hyperfair. Participants register through the Emerge website and then are transported to a virtual conference hall where you can design your avatar and walk (or warp) around the provided area. This time, the setting is in a virtual submarine, surrounded by whales and fish \u2014 a truly unique experience.<\/p>\n
