Last years show included a dedicated cannabis hall for cannabis industry traders to showcase their products, services, network and talk cannabis related to the agriculture. Below is a documentary by the Canna Club of the 112th BAS show and is a great example of the high spirits everyone was in during the 3 days of the event.
