Happy Birthday Happy Munkey

Happy fourth solar return to the heart of New York Cannabis, Happy Munkey! Looking back at four years of full force trailblazing in the Cannabis industry, we would love to highlight a few of the many contributions these amazing advocates, influencers, innovators, and community leaders have made in this ever-growing New York City Cannabis culture and community.

1. Always a warm welcome! The Happy Munkey Tribe is well known for its warm welcome and enthusiastic introductions. When we first met the team in 2018 we were greeted with so much positive and loving energy; We walked out of the elevator and were met by Ramon and Vlad with open arms and a big "hello and welcome to Happy Munkey!" We immediately felt like family. (Little did we know that it was a much bigger family than we thought!)

2. The Happy Munkey seshs became our moment of Cannabis Freedom The highlight of our long workdays, a safe space for Cannabis consumption, and an everyday ritual for many of us Cannapreneurs, we networked with people with the same aspirations and passions. We spent countless hours smoking and hanging out with people from all walks of life, brought together by the same dream, Cannabis Freedom!

3. Happy Munkey created a diverse culture and community around the Cannabis plant like no other. Happy Munkey normalized social cannabis consumption between industry By Estefania Valencia & Salam Diri professionals, patients, cannabis users, and nonusers throughout New York City and the United States. Despite the many obstacles faced by Cannabis brands today, Happy Munkey spread like wildfire and became recognized nationwide as “The Spot '' to go to in NYC. Non-cannabis users, politicians, investors, athletes, and artists were all drawn to the unmatched high vibes of the Munkey Family

4. Cannabis Advocacy The Happy Munkey actively advocated for NY Cannabis Legalization and continues to support the Cannabis equity movement with an emphasis on elevating our BIPOC communities!

5. Representing NYC Cannabis with High-End After Parties The Happy Munkey has brought the NYC Cannabis culture and energy to conferences throughout the country by hosting amazing networking afterparties. This year the Munkey will be at Vegas MJbizcon in October hosting a Cannabis networking experience with Farechild, MCA accounting solutions, and SannaOhana.

6. The Happy Munkey held space for their community to become educated on Cannabis use and its health benefits. The Happy Munkey and SannaOhana family both recognized a need to bring mindfulness to the homes of our urban communities - starting with our own families. Through Cannabis education, Cannabis yoga, meditation, and alternative self-healing modalities such as Cannabis use, we began to empower our people to take their wellbeing into their own hands. We began our monthly Happy Munkey - Sanna Cannabis Yoga events with a combination of complete cannabis freedom and wellness that our community had never seen before!

7. Creative content and culture. The Happy Munkey has created incredibly fun, artistic, educational and documentary content including highlighting New York Cannabis Culture with a weekly podcast, Munkey Biz magazine monthly newsletter, and Munkey TV.

8. Cannabis and Art The Happy Munkey have always encouraged and cultivated the enjoyment of art paired with cannabis consumption. They also work with and support many local artists. Last month they reached a new high (pun intended) with not one but two legendary Happy Munkey After Hours at the Immersive Van Gogh. The first legal NYC event to ever have Cannabis consumed in the open and appreciated for one of its many benefits and uses, a conduit for creativity, expression, and appreciation of art.

9. Cannabis Accessories and Apparel The Happy Munkey have created an online market with branded cannabis accessories and apparel such as hemp clothing and other limited edition merchandise in collaboration with some of the most recognized local artists. Light one to many more years of Happy Munkey community and Cannabis Culture!
