On Saturday, July 30th, a good friend otherwise known to the cannabis industry as “Cannaquestt” held an event at a well-known local business called Elevated Wellness Solutions (link attached). They used to be located in Hampden near The Charmery. Now they have relocated to a larger space, where they are able to have a main area, upstairs area for vendors, and an outdoor space with a covered seating area and lots of grass for standing, sitting, playing, you name it!
The space itself was amazing. I was really impressed to see their setup. When you first come up, you are buzzed in or a friendly associate will grab the door for you. They have a lot of educational material on a display near the front. This includes info about becoming a medical patient, different growers & dispensaries in Maryland, and some natural remedy options as well. They had a nice selection of topicals and Travis actually let me try a sample serving of one of the lotions for my scars. Immediate soothing and relief.
I got to the venue a little early, so I got to meet up with my good friends Cannaquestt, Morgan, Gina (Quality Vibes Cannabis), Tez, Sig and Terrell. We got to explore the space, head out back, and medicate freely. It was nice to sit out in the covered seating area on a beautiful day, surrounded by good friends that have no judgement towards the plant that brings so many of us relief. When we headed back inside, the event began and people started to join the festivities. Morgan took out his amazing tripod and did some filming as well. I love to see people in their element, surrounded by good people and good conversation. Lots of laughs were had.
The food available was from Higher Tolerance. You could choose to have an infused or uninfused meal. I chose infused, of course! This consisted of jerk chicken, rice, mac and cheese, and sweet potatoes, all paired with an infused Strawberry Lemonade. Let me tell you – my taste buds were rocking, my head felt an incredible amount of relief, and I was able to truly enjoy myself without thinking too much – a rare moment, indeed. Myself and a few others actually got a few of the infused drinks to go! It was too good to only have one time. I definitely suggest checking out an event with Higher Tolerance! Shoutout to Chef Stiix!!! He’s a boss at rolling too…..
One of the main events was a rolling competition, brought to us by Rolling Bouqe (link attached). There were 5 competitors rolling CBD bud provided by Elevated Wellness Solutions. They were given a set amount of time to roll the best joint they could. When the time was up, they weighed out each joint to see who rolled the fattest! I will post the videos in with the photos below.
There was also a video game tournament that I missed most of, unfortunately. This was another main event that sparked a lot of fun and friendly competition!
I want to also give a shoutout to a few vendors that were present.
Quality Vibes Cannabis (link attached) – the go-to for custom attire including Cookies Brand – a little video feature below of a pair of jean shorts with London Pound Cake patches.
Rythm (link attached)- Sierra from Rythm let us use a spinning wheel to create some art. We added some Rythm stickers to our designs! She was also giving out Rythm chillums, Incredibles Gummies stickers, and Rythm stickers.
Luxury Smokers Club (link attached) – The Luxury Smokers Club provides informational reviews on local medical products available to patients, hosts engaging events, and has an internal network of enthusiasts who share knowledge, resources, and a common love for the medicine.
Maryland Cannabis Reviews (link attached) – A website full of personal reviews and articles. The intention behind this review website is that one day it will become a forum where many people can post updated information about most recent batches of strains. Definitely give them a read and check out the pictures they have attached to the reviews. They also post articles about other cannabis-related topics.
Upling App (link attached) – Colin from Upling App was at this event! You can find them on instagram @UplingLLC or @UplingApp. This is a delivery/pick-up service for medical patients.
And an additional shoutout to Sig from Nature’s Heritage for giving us some goodies! To Brian at Select for providing me with a bunch of vape “pen caps” to hand out! And to Terrell for all of his knowledge and helping patients get connected with fun events in the community – we appreciate you! Check out the MJ Connect (link attached) if you are looking for daily deals, events & more.
Major shoutout to Elevated Wellness Solutions. I know a lot of the guys who work here personally. They are all incredibly nice, educated, and want to help you take care of your mind and your body. They will answer any questions you have or find an answer if they don’t know. They are really good at making suggestions for products that you may find beneficial if you suffer from any kind of physical or mental pain. I actually won a giveaway on their Instagram page a bit ago before Instagram took their account down… again going back to the cannabis censorship issue. When I came to their venue for this event, they were quick to assist me with finding products that they thought I would enjoy. Juggie particularly helped a lot – thank you for letting me talk your ear off and ask a million questions. Shoutout to Behnam for his assistance and intelligence! I walked away with a bunch of goodies that will be posted below. Curious? Here’s what I got…
One of the first things I asked about were the “Day Bear” and “Sleepy Bear” Gummies (link attached). The “Day Bear” flavor is Tropical Fruits and has 10 gummies in the pack. This daytime gummy formula is good for Energy/Focus, Pain/Mood Management, and Immune/Gut Support. This blend combines rare minor cannabinoids including CBG, CBC and THCV with CBD.
The “Sleepy Bear” flavor is Blue Raspberry and has 10 gummies in the pack. This nightttime gummy formula assists with falling asleep faster and staying asleep longer. This blend combines CBD, CBN and Melatonin to create this top-selling OG nighttime gummy. Here are a few product photos I took!
When looking at the other items in the shop, I noticed a lot of mushroom gummies. I decided to try the Psilly Psychedelic Gummies by Lifted Brands (link attached) – “Pop one n’ get silly.” The bag was super colorful and intriguing, which made it stand out. These are made from kava kava, damiana leaf and green tea caffeine. The flavor of these is grape. There are 10 pieces for a total of 800mg. These gummies are vegan, all-natural and gluten free. I am going to post the description from the back of the bag below.
“We went on a quest to find the worlds most exotic plants, our journey first took us to the Pacific Islands where we were first introduced to Kava Kava aka the “intoxicating pepper.” Kava Kava has been used for hundreds of years by these islanders to help feel relaxed, uplifted and happy; my kind of pepper. The next stop was the West Indies, and people were taking a lil’ shrub called Damiana to get “high.” We also found out it was an aphrodisiac, so, naturally, we brought that back as well. We found the perfect blend of the two, combined with green tea caffeine for an extra boost and make them into delicious gummies.” Here’s a few product photos.
Another item I was able to get was the Psychedelic Water (link attached) Herbal Supplement – “Mild mood-boosting psychedelic blend crafted to loosen you up and excite your senses.*” I grabbed the Oolong & Orange Blossom Flavor. I have yet to try this but can’t wait!
Description: “Oolong tea and Orange citrus notes come together in a unique and unbelievably delicious new flavor of Psychedelic Water. Enjoy our take on this Kava kava powered experience with friends. Best served on ice.”
Ingredients: Carbonated filtered water, erythritol, oolong tea, natural flavor, monk fruit juice concentrate, citric acid, kava kava root extract, damiana leaf extract, green tea leaf extract.
Snips directly from the website for additional detail:
Definitely going to be posting a follow-up blog and podcast shortly with reviews of the products, as well as more info about Elevated Wellness Solutions. Love hanging there. Can’t wait to stop by again.
Thank you for reading! If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message. Have you tried any of these? What did you think?
