Gage Cannabis, subsidiary of TerrAscend Corp. TRSSF announced its fourth social equity grant recipient, Midwest CannaNurses. MCN is a Detroit-based minority-owned holistic health and wellness education consulting company dedicated to health advocacy, education and inclusion with a focus on cannabis as an alternative therapy.

Across Michigan, MCN offers consulting services with a focus on cannabis as medicine, and provides education on topics such as dosing titration, safe consumption, routes of administration and individualized CannaPlans.

The grant recipient's launch event, Midwest CannaNurses Presents: Let's #OutgrowTheStigma: Healthcare, Cannabis, and Metro Detroit, is free and open to the public and will be held on November 3, 2022, at the Durfee Innovation Center (2470 Collingwood St).
