FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
What is a cannabis friendly event?Clients want to offer their guests options beyond the traditional beer or glass of wine. This doesn’t mean they want a cannabis themed event, they just want cannabis served at their event. Just as alcohol bars should never be self-serve, cannabis bars shouldn’t be either.
-
How is it legal?Recreational cannabis products can be gifted from one 21+ adult to another and can be consumed on private property. ID's are also checked ensuring only guests over the age of 21 are served.
-
Is Irie a fully insured vendor?Yes! Irie is fully insured and can provide proof of insurance to your venue or planner upon request. Our coverage is year round and comparable to what a mobile bartending service would offer, just with cannabis instead of alcohol.
-
Where does the cannabis come from?Irie DOES NOT manufacture, provide or sell cannabis or cannabis infused products. All cannabis products must be purchased from a licensed, recreational dispensary.
-
Can I still offer alcohol at my event?Yes! Alcohol and cannabis can both be served at a private event - AKA closed from the public at a private home or venue. Most of the venues Irie works with DO NOT have a liquor license and require a third-party alcohol bartending service. We recommend offering beer, wine and a few signature cocktails rather than a full open bar when offering both alcohol and cannabis.
-
How can I find weed friendly venues?We’ve created a comprehensive guide to help you with this part of your journey. Visit the Venue Research Guide located on the home page!
-
Should I have a THC or CBD bar?Either one, or both! Your bar can be completely customized. Whether you want a THC bar, CBD bar, half-and-half or a cannacocktails only bar, our specialists will curate an unforgettable experience. Irie recommends choosing at least one option that's THC-free for your bar.
-

-
How much cannabis should I purchase?The average event consumes 3 - 4 ounces of flower per every 100 guests. Each ounce of flower makes approximately 55 - 75 mini joints. We'll walk you through this step as your date gets closer based on your package choice and final guest count.
-
Should we be concerned about our guests overconsuming?We provide education and moderation, regulating guest consumption and preventing issues from arising in the first place. We also work closely with your alcohol bartenders to create cut off plans and open the lines of communication. Last but not least, our back up plan: The ARK (Adverse Reaction Kit).
-
What is The ARK?Irie’s custom safety kits are called the ARK or “Adverse Reaction Kit” and they go with our teams to every event. Each kit is loaded with various natural remedies that can help someone quickly achieve a comfortable balance after having feelings of discomfort caused by cannabis. We will share more details about this as we go thru the journey leading up to your event.
