Massachusetts and Colorado attorneys are planning a series of seminars aimed at helping potential patients and business owners understand Massachusetts’ new medical marijuana law. The lawyers will explain the process of applying for, opening, and running a medical marijuana business, including sharing best practices from Colorado and other states.

The first seminar, scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, at Cambridge Community Center, 5 Callender St., Cambridge, will also cover how people with debilitating health conditions can become legal medical marijuana patients.
