Flower Hour with IO Extracts Brings Hands-On Cannabis Experiences to Tucson

Mar 26, 20262 min read

Tucson Doobie’s signature Flower Hour series returns with a new kind of experience—one that goes beyond sampling and into creation.

This upcoming Flower Hour, in collaboration with IO Extracts, invites members to engage with cannabis in a more interactive, hands-on way. Known for its intentionally intimate setting, Flower Hour continues to evolve as a space where curiosity meets community—and this event leans fully into both.

A First-of-Its-Kind Experience

At the center of the evening is IO Extracts’ fill-your-own cart station, giving attendees a rare opportunity to customize their own vape cartridge on-site.

Rather than simply trying a finished product, members will be able to engage directly with the process—learning about concentrates, terpene profiles, and what goes into crafting a high-quality vape experience. It’s a unique activation designed to demystify cannabis while making it personal.

Learn to Make Your Own Edibles

For those looking to take their cannabis knowledge even further, IO Extracts will host two educational sessions focused on making edibles.

These classes are designed to be approachable and informative, offering insight into dosing, infusion techniques, and how to create your own cannabis-infused treats at home. 

Games, Prizes, and Community Energy

Beyond the learning and hands-on stations, the evening will also include games and a member raffle, adding a playful layer to the experience.

Flower Hour has always been about more than just cannabis—it’s about connection. The addition of interactive elements like raffles and games creates space for members to engage with one another while enjoying the atmosphere.

Plenty of the IO Extracts Team will also be onsite, giving Tucson Doobie Members the opportunity to speak directly to their ownership, technicians and product professionals. Flower Hour delivers a one-of-a-kind experience, with direct access to the cannabis space change-makers.

An Elevated Take on Cannabis Culture

Produced by Tucson Doobie, Flower Hour continues to redefine what cannabis events can look like in Tucson.

By combining education, product discovery, and social connection, the series offers something deeper than a traditional tasting. It’s an opportunity to slow down, ask questions, and experience cannabis in a way that feels intentional and elevated.

And with IO Extracts bringing interactive activations into the mix, this Flower Hour is shaping up to be one of the most engaging yet.

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.
