About Us
Inspired by the first legal medical dispensaries in the Castro which provided cannabis to those suffering from HIV/AIDS, we will reclaim, honor, and sustain queer history in cannabis legalization by incubating LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, Women-owned, and marginalized brands and donate a percentage of profits to build and fund the DTLA Proud (501c3) LGBTQ+ Community Center which will consist of LGBTQ+ programming around housing, employment, health, and legal services, as well as a non-profit incubator establishing itself as a hub for LGBTQIA+ support and development in the region.
Sadly there is not a lot of authentic LGBTQIA+ representation within the cannabis industry. It’s important that we continue paving the way for other individuals to follow and use our space for marginalized brands to enter an industry that’s almost impossible to break into. We had to fight tooth-and-nail to get where we are today. We hope that we are paving what was a rocky, hard path with a smoother road for others to follow and also laying the bricks of the first gayborhood in cannabis.
