A Message from our Founder:
This September marks five years since I left my job at a major production company and embarked on my own journey with P. Cooper Creative. I started P. Cooper Creative to leverage my design talents and experiences in events, luxury hotels, retail, and restaurants to explore projects I’m most passionate about. This venture was meant to provide opportunities for more travel, work with a diverse range of people, delve into the emerging plant medicine industry, and spend more time with my family. Despite the challenges posed by a devastating pandemic, I’m thrilled to report that, over the past five years, P. Cooper Creative and High Minded Events have achieved exactly what I set out to do.
I know our followers come for more than just the centerpieces or environments we create—they come for the plant. Our work at High Minded Events is innovative and creative, reshaping the perception of plant medicine and breaking long-standing stigmas. At its core, however, it remains professional, well-executed special event design. This is the foundation of P. Cooper Creative and the reason High Minded Events leads the plant medicine event space. These past five years have been a whirlwind, and I’m excited to see where P. Cooper Creative and High Minded Events will go in the next five years.
Thank you for following us for the ride.

For Chicago NORML, it's always been about normalizing cannabis conversations in our own communities. It's always been about creating access points to jump into the conversation -- no matter where the on-ramp starts.
It may be hard to believe now, but the IL cannabis landscape was NOT this colorful in 2017. Folks were NOT flocking to open businesses and to openly attend ''consumption events''. Seniors and sick people who wanted relief from a myriad of conditions had few (and by few, I mean none) legal options. IL was indeed a hot mess of exclusivity, with hard to navigate and overreaching regulations. It's much better now, as evidenced by the faces and spaces, but by no means satisfactory. I don't care what you read in CapitolFax, Crains, or Politico.
Chicago NORML has been here for all of it. We've been blessed, lucky, diligent, stubborn, and crazy enough to have a front-row seat to witness and participate in all the progress (and the backsliding, too). Marking our 7th year working to create space for owners, workers, patients & consumers, the Board and members will celebrate with a grown-up gala! Produced by none other than High-minded Events, this event is unlike any we've ever created.
With intention and purpose, the gala is designed to showcase emerging local brands and introduce new perspectives on responsible and refined cannabis consumption in the City of Chicago. Our sponsors, many of whom are new to the cannabis space, have been carefully chosen to engage in these conversations for the first time. Attendees will enjoy an exciting time while also learning about our latest and ongoing initiatives."
I invite you to join us for this special evening, where we’ll celebrate our progress, acknowledge the challenges ahead, and continue to push for a more inclusive and equitable cannabis landscape in Illinois. Together, we can keep the momentum going and continue to make real change happen.
See you there! https://lnkd.in/gBbHWGwg#ChicagoNORML#CannabisCommunity#CannabisAdvocacy#HighMindedEvents#CannabisReform
