About Cannababe
An inclusive boutique, small event space and creative center. Cannababe will host various “stoner” gatherings solo and along with other like minded businesses. A few examples include... art & crafts, game nights, healing + self work, womxn circles and much more. The goal is to come relax, unwind and mingle with other people within the community. Along with these monthly events we will also offer exclusive booking access to the space for you and a group of your choosing. We want this to be a safe space for our fellow stoner womxn and queer folk to gather (open to but not limited to those groups), network and possibly get to know some cool new people and make friends along the way.
Make sure to check out the hand selected retail + smoking accessories that are just too cute to pass up!
We look forward to hosting you all in our inclusive space.
Lucie's Story
Let me introduce myself, My name is Lucie. I was born and raised in South Minneapolis and I am 27 years old. I'll share my story about how I started Cannababe..
2023 came with many many ups and downs. I began to examine and question a lot of aspects of my life, mental health and career. I started to reflect on the past 10 years spent in the restaurant industry, the time it took to complete my esthetics courses and getting certified as an advanced practice esthetician and my many career ideas I’ve had in between. I kept ending up in the same place- extremely burnt out. I wasn’t finding happiness in any career path, but I knew I liked connecting with people and making them feel seen. Throughout all of these reflections, I was going through some pretty awful mental health times. I continued to put in a lot of work towards my mental health, and finally got diagnosed with Autism. This diagnosis gave me a lot of relief, heartache (mourning who I thought I was), and clarity. Fast forward to summer and I get to a place where I am so burnt out that I can barely emotionally regulate, let alone work. I kept working because I didn’t have a choice- or so I thought. One day I just couldn’t do it anymore; I wanted to change my life, heal my nervous system + trauma and find a career that I enjoyed and that brought joy to others as well. That’s when I came up with the idea for Cannababe. As a gal on the spectrum, Cannabis has always been something that could help ease my anxieties and help with a lot of other fun things that come with the disability. One day I had such a bad anxiety attack about going to my serving shift that I never went back. The universe works in crazy ways because just a week before I had seen a for rent sign and acquired a space. I wasn’t ready to start my own first business but I ended up diving head first in. This was the best thing that could have happened to me even though it was the scariest thing I’d ever done. Moral of the story, I want to share this unique space/ experience with anyone who may want to, and let them feel the safety and confidence that it has instilled in me.
