This coming Wednesday, Januray 25, The Weed Blog will host an Oregon Cannabis Industry Mixer and Networking Event at the Lagunitas Community Room to benefit Echo Theater Company in Porltand!
The event will be held from 5:30-8:30 p.m. and will include a cash bar, finger foods, and messaging from many leading brands in the Oregon cannabis industry. This will be the first in a series of events that The Weed Blog will host to benefit nonprofits.
One of the most important ways to legitimize and normalize the cannabis conversation and the emerging recreational/adult-use cannabis industry and market is by partnering with local nonprofits that are outside of the cannabis movement.
Echo Theater Company is an arts school that was founded in 1983 and offers classes in acrobatics, trapeze, aerial dance, and physical theater. We have classes, camps, performances and events for ages 1 – 100, and they also are a school with inclusion programs for students with special needs. The school is maintaining what has become an important hub of arts and culture in the iconic Hawthorne District of Portland. The Executive Director of Echo Theater Company will be at the event to tell attendees more about their mission and what they do.

Lagunitas Community Room, the venue for this event, is a venue that is dedicated 100% to supporting non-profits with their fundraising efforts. The beer and the space are completely donated so that we can focus on raising the funds that nonprofits like Echo Theater Company needs to carry out its respective mission. Lagunitas has graciously offered a goodie bag of Lagunitas swag to our raffle prizes as well!

There will not be any on site cannabis consumption or cannabis product sponsorship for this event, but we are thrilled to offer this opportunity for networking and fun as well as a space for people to learn more about our industry.
The more we work together, whether consumer, activist, policy maker, or industry professional, the faster we can push the big wheel forward to end federal cannabis prohibition!
This is a CASH ONLY event! All tickets, drink tokens, and raffle sales will be cash. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. We hope to see you there!
