Cannafriends: Cannabis-themed Event Brings 30+ Vendors to American Eat Co.

Sep 20, 20242 min read

If you’re like me, you love a good opportunity to bring people together.

That’s exactly what Cannafriends founder, Amethyst Kinney, aims to do. The organization meets monthly to connect patients to new brands, brands to potential employees, and, of course, to make friends.

American Eat Co., a south side staple offering a mix of contemporary eats at 1439 S. Fourth Ave., has opened its doors to the event, hosting for the first time from 6 – 9 p.m. on Monday, September 23.

The networking event gives guests the opportunity to sample a plethora of cannabis products while engaging with the brands’ local representatives.

Folks who come to the event will have the opportunity to learn about different strains and find out where to buy locally while enjoying live entertainment. DJ Kelvin Blessed the Beat will be providing the tunes with performances by Sour D, Skwid, and Trip Tarantino.

Tickets to the event are $10 per person and can be purchased online.

“We could not be more excited,” said Kinney. “It’s great how the cannabis community comes together.”

The post continued, “we have met some great friends who have become family to us.” Tucson Foodie first visited the restaurant in 2017, when it operated as IOU Sushi IV.

Anne Rysdale built @sheltercocktaillounge in 1961 with concrete walls, lava rock, and Cold War nerves. Today, owners Pam Santangelo and Kevin Breutzmann keep the Tucson bar exactly as regulars remember it. Inside, martinis share space with JFK memorabilia, a vintage atomic chandelier, and a suit of armor named Charlie. “Tucson is changing so much, but this has stayed the same. It’s a time capsule,” Santangelo said.
