How’s it growing folks?! This episode is really one for your friends, your Cannafriends to be specific. Here in Arizona, dispensaries and other cannabis companies and brands are allowed to show off their products at vendor fairs and trade shows.
Probably the most popular of these events is a twice-monthly meet-up known as AZ Cannafriends. AZ Cannafriends events take place in both Tucson and Phoenix and can feature up to 30 vendors and more than 300 attendees.
To help shed some light on what makes these events so special and unique, I spoke with the organization's current president: Amethyst Kinney.
Kinney, known as Arizona’s Canna-queen for her boundless energy and ubiquitous presence throughout the state, is also the founder and CEO of Blue Dream Entertainment, a Limited Liability Company she set up to oversee AZ Cannafriends and her brand-ambassador service.
In our interview, she describes how she’s expanded AZ Cannafriends and what some of her 2023 plans for the event are, how she was introduced to cannabis at two very different points in her life, and her work promoting Revenant MJ -- a brand of cannabis founded in part by former NFL Quarterback Jim McMahon.
Our conversation kicks off with Amethyst telling the story of her first time getting high… and it’s hilarious.
