CHAMPS Trade Shows is proud to introduce another new section to the show floor! The term "mycology" refers to the branch of biology concerned with the study of fungi... aka... psilocybin, mushrooms, magic mushrooms (or the commonly known slang-term "shrooms"). No, we aren't selling shrooms. We are however, educating the masses on the next wave in counter culture! Get to know the vendors who will be leading the way at our Las Vegas Summer Show... because as we all know; it's together we grow! For more information email: hap@champstradeshows.com or call: 818.640.7010 ext 7010.
A Word From Women of CHAMPS... What makes you passionate about your role in counter culture? I recently had my "ah-ha" moment after the reversal on Roe vs Wade in the Supreme Court. I've supported cannabis and plant medicine from a young age, but it wasn't until I was in my late 30's that I jumped into it as a legit career move. As a single mother of two young ladies, I spent my entire life taking jobs where I knew I wouldn't be drug tested just so I could self medicate for what I later learned was autism, PTSD, and other hidden sensory needs. I also had a miscarriage that almost killed me, and plant medicine is what helped heal me. After that, I took a job in cannabis media which eventually led to CHAMPS Trade Shows. Working in the industry has given me a greater purpose and answers about my own health and wellness that was missed by health care professionals since I was a child. Now, it's helping break hereditary cycles for my own children. I have a platform to help educate others on their path to wellness, while also inspiring- and being inspired from- other women leaders who have thriving businesses in the counter culture industries, too! So while it may feel like we're currently living in the past- know the future is female- and you can't reverse that. -AW
