Hamptons Cannabis Event To Explore Chronic Disease Management
This year's Hamptons Cannabis Expo will focus on the future use of cannabis and psychedelics in chronic health conditions.
The seventh annual event, titled "Psychedelics & Cannabis in Chronic Disease Management: Integrative Medicine Approaches," takes place from 1 p.M. To 10 p.M. On Thursday, Aug. 1 at the Little Beach Harvest dispensary in Southampton, which is owned and operated by the Shinnecock Nation. The 5,000-square-foot dispensary at 56 Montauk Highway opened in Nov. 2023.
The expo's featured speakers include Tremaine S. Wright, chair of the New York State Office of Cannabis Management, who will give updates on regulatory developments and provide insights on the future of medical cannabis, and Natanya Wachtel, a behavioral psychology scientist, who will host a panel discussion on the use of psychedelics and cannabis in medical treatment.
More than 50 sites in the U.S., including the Cleveland Clinic and Johns Hopkins Medicine, are conducting clinical trials on psychedelics for conditions such as depression and PTSD, according to expo organizers, who also point out that about 65 percent of Americans see therapeutic potential in psychedelics for mental health issues. The 2024 National Defense Authorization Act funds psychedelic research for PTSD treatment among veterans and the Food and Drug Administration has issued new guidelines for psychedelic clinical trials.
Besides the panel discussions and featured speakers, the cannabis expo features exhibitor booths showcasing new products and treatments. There will also be an after-expo dinner party at the indoor-and-outdoor event.

Sinéad O'Connor Died From Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease And Asthma, Death Certificate Says
Sinéad O'Connor died from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchial asthma, her death certificate has confirmed.
The news was first reported on Sunday by the Irish Independent, one year after the Irish artist and activist's death at age 56.
O'Connor's first husband and close friend, John Reynolds, registered the death certificate in London last Wednesday.
The document noted that O'Connor died from "exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchial asthma together with low grade lower respiratory tract infection".

O'Connor died on July 26th last year in her south London home, where police found her "unresponsive". At the time, they said they did not treat her death as suspicious.
In January, a coroner determined that she died of natural causes.
Fans pay their respects at Sinead O'Connor's grave in Deans Grange Cemetery, Dublin, on the one-year anniversary of her death late last month. Photograph: Colin Keegan/CollinsDuring her three-decade career, O'Connor had a global hit with her 1990 cover of Prince's Nothing Compares 2 U – a track which propelled her into the spotlight, sometimes against her wishes.
In the public eye, she became known as an outspoken activist – including, famously, for ripping up a picture of Pope John Paul II during a Saturday Night Live performance in 1992.
Her death drew an outpouring of tributes from friends, peers, collaborators and public figures.
Leo Varadkar, who was taoiseach at the time of her death, said: "Her music was loved around the world and her talent was unmatched and beyond compare."
O'Connor's death came 18 months after her 17-year-old son, Shane, died after going missing. She is survived by her three living children. – Guardian
