Powered by knowledge. We entered this space to educate, uplift, and create lasting change,\u201d said Princess Mirabal, founder of Cannabis Karma. Sending Davina to pharmacy school reflects our commitment to real cannabis education\u2014grounded in science, culture, and community.<\/p><p>Davina now leads The Cannabis Karma Senior Wellness Experience, a modular, culturally grounded education program co-created with Lifeluxee. The experience blends trusted cannabis science with joyful engagement through activities like Bud Bingo, Dank Plinko, Cannabis 101, Stoned Salutations, light movement, and creative arts\u2014specifically tailored for adults aged 60+.<\/p><p>Currently offered at adult day programs, wellness centers, and senior facilities across the D.C. metro area, the program has expanded into Maryland and other states.<\/p><p><em>\u201cThere\u2019s nothing else like this in our community,\u201d<\/em> said Davina Hale. <em>\u201cWe center joy, movement, and real science.
