NECANN Cannadelic Miami 2025 marked a milestone moment where cannabis, psychedelics, and holistic wellness officially moved from fringe conversations to a polished, mainstream conference stage. Held May 23–24, 2025, at the Miami Airport Convention Center inside the DoubleTree by Hilton near Miami International Airport, the event was co-produced with New England Cannabis Conventions (NECANN), one of the largest cannabis convention series in the U.S.
Billed as “the world’s first and largest cannabis + psychedelics experience,” Cannadelic Miami 2025 brought together researchers, clinicians, wellness seekers, activists, and industry professionals for two days of programming focused on plant medicine and next-generation therapies. The conference positioned itself at the crossroads of science, culture, and commerce, pairing a traditional expo floor with deeper conversations about mental health, trauma treatment, and the future of regulated psychedelic access.
On the convention floor, attendees moved between exhibitor booths featuring cannabis brands, psychedelic-adjacent products, wellness technologies, and service providers ranging from law firms to software platforms. NECANN’s involvement helped scale the event, with promotional materials and partner sites highlighting more than 100 exhibitors and a robust lineup of speakers and sponsors focused on both cannabis and psychedelic markets. For brands, it was a chance to test new products, meet retailers, and explore emerging business models in a space that openly embraced multiple plant-medicine categories under one roof.
Education sat at the heart of the weekend. Conference schedules and media coverage detailed tracks on psychedelics and mental health, policy reform, clinical research, commercialization, and responsible integration of substances like psilocybin and ketamine alongside cannabis. Panels explored everything from trauma-informed therapy to regulatory hurdles and ethical marketing. For professionals, the event functioned as a cross-disciplinary classroom; for curious consumers, it served as a structured introduction to complex topics that are often fragmented across separate cannabis or psychedelic events.
Cannadelic Miami 2025 also leaned heavily into experiential wellness. The program featured immersive elements such as sound-healing sessions, infused yoga, and other alternative-wellness workshops designed to showcase non-pharmaceutical approaches to stress, recovery, and spiritual exploration. A Thursday kickoff golf scramble with former NFL star Ricky Williams, along with a VIP welcome reception, set a community tone before the main expo days, emphasizing networking and relationship-building. Evening events, including the Entheo Awards and afterparty, extended those connections into more informal, festival-like spaces.
For Miami itself, the conference reinforced the city’s growing reputation as a hub for conscious culture and alternative wellness. Local coverage framed Cannadelic as more than a trade show, describing it as a collision of science, counterculture, and policy debate at a time when public opinion and legislation around psychedelics are rapidly evolving. The partnership with NECANN also symbolized how quickly the cannabis industry is embracing psychedelics as a parallel—and sometimes overlapping—marketplace, complete with its own investors, patient communities, and advocacy infrastructure.
Ultimately, NECANN Cannadelic Miami 2025 functioned as both a snapshot of where cannabis and psychedelic reform currently stand and a preview of where they may be headed. By blending rigorous education with wellness experiences, business networking, and public-facing exhibits, the event offered a structured yet accessible space for people who see plant medicine not as a trend but as a long-term pillar of healthcare, spirituality, and culture.
