The expo reinforced our commitment to holistic wellness and sustainability, aligning with our brand values and connecting us with a community that shares these principles,” they said. Attendees loved their CBD Hippie Juice tea, and Tee’s Tea was able to educate many curious visitors about the benefits of CBD tea.

My first relationship with cannabis was shaped by my upbringing in East Oakland where the War on Drugs was prevalent. Watching family members get locked up or killed over the plant wasn’t worth it, so I stayed away from it.”</p> <p><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-199277" src="https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1544.jpeg?resize=740%2C786&ssl=1" alt="" width="740" height="786" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1544.jpeg?resize=964%2C1024&ssl=1 964w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1544.jpeg?resize=283%2C300&ssl=1 283w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1544.jpeg?resize=768%2C816&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1544.jpeg?resize=600%2C637&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1544.jpeg?w=1130&ssl=1 1130w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px" /></p> <p> </p> <p>Vanessa’s journey into the cannabis industry began with a personal need to manage her anxiety. “I remember the day I went to the doctor and asked how to manage my anxiety; their immediate solution was a prescription for antidepressants. For a doctor that spent less than 5 minutes getting to know me and my triggers; how he correlated anxiety to depression I’ll never understand. Needless to say, I never took the prescription.”</p> <p>A friend’s suggestion to try cannabis eventually led Vanessa to discover its benefits, despite an initial negative experience. “After my high wore off, I recognized a lightness I hadn’t felt in a long time. Prospects of the future and decisions I was making around my work felt much more hopeful and manageable.”</p> <p>Vanessa’s passion for holistic wellness and event production culminated in the creation of the Canna Luxxe Wellness Expo. “My studio, Cloud 9 Studios, is a horizontally integrated alternative wellness studio radically innovating how consumers understand and enhance their lifestyle with holistic medicine.”</p> <h3>Memorable Moments from the Expo</h3> <p>Vanessa highlighted several standout moments from the Spring 2024 showcase. “Our Spring 2024 showcase in Las Vegas had several iconic moments. It took place at AREA15, an immersive family-friendly entertainment district that doesn’t typically host cannabis events. The venue offered a beautiful and colorful backdrop alongside our intentional use of aromatherapy to create a full sensory enhanced experience.”</p> <p><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-199279" src="https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1545.jpeg?resize=740%2C658&ssl=1" alt="" width="740" height="658" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1545.jpeg?resize=1024%2C911&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1545.jpeg?resize=300%2C267&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1545.jpeg?resize=768%2C683&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1545.jpeg?resize=600%2C534&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1545.jpeg?w=1200&ssl=1 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px" /></p> <p>Councilwoman Victoria Seaman’s visit during her mayoral campaign was another highlight. “Her intent was to connect with the businesses and gather more understanding around the principles and values of the conscious cannabis community in order to support future political efforts around cannabis policy.”</p> <p><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-199276" src="https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1538.jpeg?resize=681%2C1024&ssl=1" alt="" width="681" height="1024" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1538.jpeg?resize=681%2C1024&ssl=1 681w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1538.jpeg?resize=200%2C300&ssl=1 200w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1538.jpeg?resize=768%2C1155&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1538.jpeg?resize=600%2C902&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_1538.jpeg?w=798&ssl=1 798w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px" /></p> <p>This year also marked the first after party, Cannaluxxe After Dark, featuring Lizzy Jeff’s Zen & Kush party, which explored the versatility of sexual health and intimacy.</p> <h3>Looking Ahead</h3> <p>Vanessa envisions a bright future for holistic wellness and plant-based medicine. “I envision our future will have an increased focus on personalized and sustainable wellness plans; using plant medicine to customize nutrition and tailored regimens catering to an individual’s genetic predisposition.”</p> <p>The Canna Luxxe Wellness Expo aims to continue fostering generational wealth for black and brown professionals in the industry. “This is probably the most exceptional contribution Cannaluxxe Wellness Expo seeks to offer the industry through the business resource tools we offer participants like scholarships and business development support.”</p> <p>The Canna Luxxe Wellness Expo in Vegas was a testament to the vibrant and evolving world of holistic wellness. It highlighted the limitless potential of plant-based medicine and alternative health practices, making a significant impact on all who attended.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com/high-vibes-at-the-canna-luxe-wellness-expo-in-vegas/">High Vibes at the Canna Luxxe Wellness Expo in Vegas</a> appeared first on <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com">Black Cannabis Magazine</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/high-vibes-at-the-canna-luxe-wellness-expo-in-vegas/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">199271</post-id> </item> </channel> </rss> <!-- Performance optimized by W3 Total Cache.
