Mission
Cannafriends aims to foster and grow connections in the AZ cannabis community. We encourage every member to do their part to support the community and help it grow. We host monthly networking meetings in both Phoenix and Tucson, with the goal of helping to connect patients to new brands, brands to new potential employees, and everyone to new friends!
We offer a number of resources to help you on your journey within the cannabis community!
01. Social Media Platforms
We offer both an open forum for patients, brands, and friends in the community on Facebook as well a great way for brand recognition on Instagram.
02. Monthly events
Once a month, we meet in person in Phoenix and Tucson to network and build strong professional and friendly connections. We also feature one brand each month to educate the community about their products.
03. Community News & Education.
Each meeting has a themed focus to deliver education on important matters and products. Ask brands direct questions and inform yourself on the products you use!

History
Cannafriends started out as a few friends meeting monthly for a get together at a bar in Downtown Phoenix. Word spread of these monthly meetings and more and more industry entrepreneurs started to gather. Soon a Facebook group sprouted to extend the connections and enable interaction daily. The Facebook group is now a vital resource for its over 6,000 members. What started out as a monthly hangout has grown into one of the most useful tools for new and existing entrepreneurs & professionals in the AZ cannabis community.
Today’s meetings, which are offered in Phoenix and Tucson monthly, offer a fun and safe environment for members to educate themselves on products with a different featured brand each month. Cannafriends is open to patients, industry professionals, and friends of the community. Our meetings also have food, raffles and music.
We hope to see you at one of our events soon!

A New Era Goes Live: Hella Lit’s App Launch Brings Star Power to CannaFriends Event
Not Just Another Social Media Platform
On April 15, The Duce in Phoenix will set the stage for a major moment in Arizona cannabis culture as Hella Lit officially launches its new app at the CannaFriends Brand New Vibes event. The partnership brings together two brands with distinct strengths: Hella Lit’s fresh, forward-looking digital vision and CannaFriends’ well-established reputation as one of the state’s most trusted cannabis communities. With a room full of industry leaders, creatives, advocates, and engaged consumers, plus live performances by DJ Psycho Pat and the Ying Yang Twins, the event is positioned to be more than a launch. It will be a statement about where cannabis culture, community, and entertainment are headed next.
For Hella Lit, this debut is especially meaningful because it is happening in collaboration with a brand that has already earned deep respect within the cannabis space. CannaFriends has built its name by creating authentic opportunities for connection across the industry, bringing together brands, entrepreneurs, patients, and community members in ways that feel organic and impactful. That kind of reputation carries real weight, and Hella Lit’s decision to launch its app within that environment speaks volumes about the company’s vision, values, and long-term ambitions. The evening also promises a level of cultural energy that sets it apart from a standard industry event.
What makes the partnership so compelling is the natural alignment between the two brands. Hella Lit is focused on the future of cannabis engagement through innovation, education, and connection, while CannaFriends has already built a strong foundation for those experiences in the real world. Together, they represent the intersection of digital evolution and community credibility. A combination that feels timely, relevant, and powerful. The inclusion of live music helps elevate that experience even further, turning the event into a true celebration of culture, connection, and momentum. Rather than simply hosting a product launch, the evening will spotlight a shared commitment to elevating how cannabis culture is experienced, understood, and celebrated.
Collaboration and Partnership
As the night unfolds on April 15, this event is poised to stand out as a defining moment for both brands. Hella Lit is not only introducing a new app, but also establishing its presence with intention, energy, and momentum. With CannaFriends as its launch partner, and with performances by DJ Psycho Pat and the Ying Yang Twins helping drive the atmosphere, the debut arrives with built-in trust, visibility, and excitement. The result is an event that reflects more than promotion alone, it reflects partnership, purpose, and the beginning of what could be an exciting new chapter for both HellaLit and the broader cannabis community in Arizona.
