Even though cannabis has been legal for years, there’s still a lot of misundertanding based on decades of “Reefer Madness” type misinformation. 

On Oct 10 at 6:30 PM, Dudley Grange hosts Green Meadows grower Levi Piader, who will help explode those myths, talking about his experiences in the legal cannabis field, growing with hydroponics, understanding the chemistry and biological effects and related issues. 

Piader’s background is in agriculture, growing up on a Connecticut farm before going into the military. After returning to civilian life, he noted, “I began to dig deeper into the miraculous science of cannabis and its benefits for healing” in California, then Washington and Colorado. 

He made his way back to Massachusetts in 2020, starting at Green Meadows in 2021 and becoming Cultivation Manager there earlier this year.

“As a veteran who served overseas for three years, Green Meadows has been the perfect fit for me and I am honored to join the commitment to help fellow veterans and their families cope with PTSD, social isolation and pain-related issues,” Piader added.

The event is open to the public and free, and there will be snacks afterward. Dudley Grange is next to Nichols College at 139 Center Road, Dudley.
