The Future of Cannabis Is Social: From Solo Sessions to Shared Moods
The Social Shift: From Solo to Shared
For decades, cannabis use was mostly solitary - personal, discreet, and even secretive. But things have changed.
Global data shows over 268 million cannabis consumers today, and a growing number use it to connect, not escape. In Spain alone, 4.2 million local users and nearly 6 million tourists participate annually in Cannabis Social Clubs (CSCs). Nearly half of users worldwide now associate cannabis with social connection and collective wellness (source: NFD Report 2025).
Cannabis consumer is defined as having consumed cannabis at least once in 2020.
It’s a cultural turning point. Cannabis is no longer just about effects, it’s about experience. Like coffee tastings or wine pairings, cannabis is becoming a way to express identity, mood, and belonging.
From Stigma to Culture
Legalization and education have transformed how people view cannabis.
During the pandemic, nearly half of U.S. users said they turned to cannabis for calm and connection, not isolation. The line between wellness, emotion, and creativity blurred, giving rise to a new kind of social habit.

For younger generations, sharing experiences is second nature. They already share music, food, workouts, and moods so sharing cannabis feels like the next natural step. This is how cannabis evolves from a private indulgence to a public culture of connection.
New Spaces, New Rituals
Spain’s CSC model is a perfect case study - built not on profit, but on participation. These clubs represent a community-first approach, where cannabis is the medium, not the goal.
Similarly, cities like Denver, Las Vegas, and New York are now licensing social consumption lounges, designed for shared use rather than isolated vaping.
From Cannabis Social Clubs in Spain to social lounges in the U.S., the next evolution of cannabis happens in shared spaces.
Globally, cannabis use is moving into collective rituals: shared spaces, festivals, digital meetups, and connected devices. The future of cannabis doesn’t happen in isolation - it thrives in networks.
MoodLab and the Rise of Shared Moods
MoodLab was created for this very movement.
Our vision is simple - connection makes every session better.
That’s why we built the MoodLab.ai App, extending vaping from a solo act to a social ecosystem.

Just as CSCs bring local users together, MoodLab builds a global digital community - fluid, interactive, and endlessly creative. Here, every puff is more than vapor, it’s a shared story.
Cannabis is moving from solo to shared, from hidden moments to open connection. At MoodLab, we believe the next era of cannabis is defined not by power, but by people - by shared moods, meaningful rituals, and communities that grow together.
