CannaFriends, Arizona’s most established cannabis networking community, is proud to announce its official evolution with the “Brand New Vibes” Relaunch and Networking Night taking place on April 15 from 6pm – 10pm at The Duce in downtown Phoenix. The 420 week kickoff event marks a definitive revolution for the organization as it expands its influence across the Southwest.
The evening will be headlined by the legendary Ying Yang Twins, bringing their iconic energy to the stage. Adding to the high-caliber lineup, NFL legend and cannabis advocate Kyle Turley will perform live with The Kyle Turley Band, showcasing his signature power country sound and his deep-rooted commitment to plant-based wellness.
The Heart of the Revolution
At the helm of this evolution is Amethyst Kinney, CEO of CannaFriends and owner of Blue Dream Entertainment. Amethyst has spent years as a pillar of the Arizona cannabis scene, turning her personal journey of health and resilience into a platform that empowers others. Known for her ability to bring industry titans and local entrepreneurs into the same room, she has steered CannaFriends from a grassroots gathering into an essential industry engine.
“CannaFriends has always been the place where the real work of building this industry happens-face to face. This refresh is a reflection of how much we’ve grown alongside our community. To be at this stage, collaborating with innovative partners like Hella Lit and hosting icons like the Ying Yang Twins, proves that the vision we had years ago was the right one. This is so much more than networking. We’re defining the next chapter of Arizona cannabis culture together.” – Amethyst Kinney
Elevating the Experience: Innovation & Industry Leaders
The event also serves as the official launch pad for the Hella Lit app, a forward-thinking digital platform that is changing the narrative around cannabis. This partnership highlights the CannaFriends commitment to pairing long-standing community trust with modern innovation and Hella Lit’s focus on the future of cannabis engagement through innovation, education, and connection.
The Brand New Vibes night is made possible by an elite roster of industry sponsors dedicated to elevating the Arizona space, including: Lucent Engine, Hella Lit, Trulieve, Elite Industrial Supply, Murphy Broadcasting, Lunchbox, Dime, Guardians of Ganja, FENO, and Evolab.
