I care a lot.

I started Livvie Smalls Events because I wanted to provide safe and beautiful consumption spaces where my guests felt taken care of.

A safe space to ask questions and get informed answers with no judgment, because I believe that knowledge can help quell cannabis induced anxiety.

My intention is to give a more controlled and thoughtful edibles experience to replace those "bad brownie" stories that so many people have. Mindful consumption and safe spaces paired with experiential dining has been my goal from the start, and I have reached those goals with every event.

I have always kept my events under 25 guests so that I can easily look everyone in the eye and check in to see how they feel because I want my guests to know they have someone looking out for them.

As a guest at my events I want you to know that I have thought about you and the experience you would have for weeks, sometimes months before I met you, because I want you to have an amazing time.

This is what I would want from an event as a guest, and one of the reasons I started hosting events is because I felt like I didn't have safe and beautiful consumption spaces to enjoy myself.

Unfortunately this is not the standard with consumption events or events in general, but it is MY standard and that has not changed from day one.

With the world opening back up and seeing events put profit over safety I just wanted to say that my objective has not changed,

I will always put your safety first in my planning and during events.

All of my events might be individually different but that is one thing that remains the same.

That's my promise to you.๐Ÿ’š

Respectfully it is "Strain" not "Strandโ€

Respectfully it is "Strain" not "Strand".

This is a very common mix up that I hear often so I wanted to help make a distinction between the two.

"Strain" in this case is a term used to describe varietals of the cannabis plant and there are hundreds, possibly thousands of "strains" or different types of cannabis varietals.

Due to cultivators who have been geneticizing new strains constantly because they want to produce different looks, smells and effects from those strains. So we have new strains that have been "hybridized" popping up all of the time. This is why calling a strain a "hybrid" doesn't really describe effect because most strains are a "hybrid" at this point. If it's not a hybrid then it would be a "landrace".

(And don't forget.. "sativa" "indica" and "hybrid" are not reliable terms when we are describing effect because cannabis is changing constantly after it is harvested.)

Cannabis has been talked about, researched, and even developed in a shroud of secrecy due to prohibition around the plant, so making terminology mistakes is normal.

This post is not meant to shame anyone for using the wrong terminology but to use this common mix-up as a teaching point to make you feel more empowered when purchasing or talking about cannabis going forward.๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒ
