Introducing Alas Pa’ Volar: A New Cannabis Brand Inspired by Frida Kahlo
At this year’s MJBizCon in Las Vegas, cannabis enthusiasts discovered a standout brand: Alas Pa’ Volar. This premium cannabis brand is inspired by the revolutionary spirit and boundless creativity of Frida Kahlo, the iconic Mexican painter renowned for her vibrant self-portraits and bold expressions of identity, pain, and resilience.
The brand’s name, Alas Pa’ Volar, comes from one of Kahlo’s final paintings, "Pies pa’ qué los quiero si tengo alas pa’ volar", which translates to: "Feet, why do I need them if I have wings to fly?" This phrase encapsulates Frida’s defiant independence and her commitment to living life on her own terms—qualities that are mirrored in the brand’s vision.
Supported by Kahlo’s great grandnieces, Alas Pa’ Volar celebrates Frida's legacy of using cannabis as a tool for pain relief, creativity, and freedom. The brand was created by Latina-owned company Hierba Buena LA in collaboration with top Latino-owned cannabis farms across California, ensuring that every product embodies cultural pride, sustainability, and authenticity.
At the launch, Marisela Nuño, Founder of Hierba Buena LA, shared the brand’s mission: "Alas Pa’ Volar is a tribute to Frida Kahlo and a celebration of our Latino heritage. We are cultivating exclusive, in-house cannabis strains crafted specifically for this brand, ensuring each product reflects the passion, creativity, and bold individuality that Frida represents."
Offering premium flower, edibles, and accessories, Alas Pa’ Volar honors Frida’s legacy while highlighting Latino resilience and creativity in the cannabis industry. Learn more about this groundbreaking brand at alaspavolar.com.
