&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Our Speaker:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rick Glass is a U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran, cannabis educator, and founder of Canna Cares, a nonprofit dedicated to providing responsible, evidence-informed cannabis education throughout Maryland. Drawing from both personal experience and years of community outreach, Rick works to replace stigma and misinformation with honest conversations about cannabis, its potential benefits, its risks, and responsible use.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Through Canna Cares, Rick has worked with veterans, seniors, healthcare and community organizations, public safety professionals, and others to help people make informed decisions about cannabis. His approach is simple: education over assumption and responsibility over stigma.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thank You to Our Breakfast Sponsor:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
