Hundreds expected at annual Hampton Cannabis Expo

With interstate commerce banned in cannabis, many brands rely on illicit operators to market their products across the country.

Now in its fifth year, the Hampton Cannabis Expo will draw entrepreneurs and investors interested in the marijuana industry, said Neil Kaufman, whose Hauppauge law firm handles corporate cannabis transactions across the nation and is one of the event's sponsors.
