Our Story

  When I saw half baked, I said “I want to study weed “ I said how do I go to school for that? So, this lead me to laboratories, the love of the plant motivated me. I learned chemistry, hematology, phlebotomy, plasmapheresis, all to get myself in the door of cannabis. My motivation, my goal, my baby, my drive. After my son was born, i developed my 5 year plan to get myself into cannabis. My motivations changed to realizing I could start a dispensary and a laboratory. There is an obvious defies of people of color which actual relationships with cannabis.

  There’s business owners but know nothing so people do not trust them. There are also white and profiting off the same plant that people of color have been disproportionately been incarcerated for. So, I started expanding my skill set to be in align with cannabis. I started researching the federal laws and state laws regarding cultivation, processing, sale and production of cannabis in MD. Still no one in the program like me with an actual proven love for cannabis or real history or drive, their motivations are money and trying to eventually monopolize the program further creating a gap between the minorities purchasing and minorities trying to work in cannabis. Continuous cycle of minorities being profited from but unincluded in the revenue stream it has created.

   30 mil in cannabis has been purchased since the first dispensaries opened. If that money is going back into Baltimore is fairly doubtful since none of the dispensaries are owned by anyone from Baltimore. Because of this, there is an obvious disconnect between the people and the dispensaries and we are changing that already and continue to while changing the criminal stigma surrounding blacks people IN cannabis on a national level.

   We started our model based off of “what do people actually want?@, how can cannabis change my community, what jobs is can provide l, why would I want to stop there when I can do so much.

Everyone is late to the game but  we were benched because of we are black.
