Love is Love with Pot & Pride ā Celebrate with 4 LGBTQ Canna Brands
While almost every brand and company is celebrating Juneās annual pride month, for cannabis itās a bit morepersonal. As the plantās legalization movement truly began side, by side, with the LGBTQ community during the AIDS epidemic in the ā80s.
Lively activists then fought for medical marijuana use to treat the symptoms of HIV and AIDS, centralized in Nor Calās own San Francisco.
Today, the two communities continue to thrive hand in hand. So, if youāre seeking ways to get into the pride month spirit while celebrating cannabisā too, how can you do so? Start here, with our ultimate guide to all things cannabis and pride with the brands who are elevating the LGBTQ x 420 connection.
#1 ā CANN
Cann, was co-founded by Luke Anderson and Jake Bullock in Venice and the LGBTQ-owned company has been trending ever since it hit the shelves. The sparkling beverage is serving up the Cali-sober lifestyle with āsocial tonicsā that are infused with low doses of THC, and come hangover free. Even better? Each can is low-calorie, vegan, and gluten-free for all of those health-conscious, too.
For 2022 pride month, the company launched their āTaste So Goodā campaign which came equipped with an original song, and production that the brand callsĀ āan iconic music video celebrating queer love, inclusivity & cannabis.ā
While the song is stuck in your head, grab a Cann and feel the groove with flavors that are just as peppy. LikeĀ Grapefruit Rosemary, andĀ Blood Orange Cardamom.
#2 ā WYLD
Wyld is a fierce supporter of the LGBTQ community and partakes in cannabis and pride events, and advocacy year-round. The brand is a sponsor ofĀ Pride Northwest, in neighboring states Oregon and Washington, while also partnering with theĀ LGBT center in SacramentoĀ to helpĀ āaddress the many inequalities the LGBTQ communities are experiencing every dayā.
In 2021, Wyld also launched a partnership with the Equality Federation to create exclusive Wyld x Pride t-shirts with 100% of sales donated to the advocacy group that helps fuel state-based LGBTQ movements, and legislation for equality coast-to-coast. At Wyld, the brand stands firmĀ that their gummies arenātĀ ājust a candy. Itās a culture.ā where they dedicate themselves to working towards a better future, and to motivate positive outcomes for āour people and planetā.
But speaking of candy, their naturally-flavored THC-infused gummies are seriously poppable. The little cubes of goodness are sugar-coated, sweet, and sour, and come with a variety of flavors and types to choose from. LikeĀ Sour Apple,Ā Elderberry, indica and sativa options, and evenĀ CBD gummies, too. Pick yourself up a pack, to sweeten up your cannabis pride month celebration with a pride supporting brand.
#3 ā SONDER SPACE CRYSTALS
Sonder is a Bay Area brand launched by Faun Chapin and M. Paradise in 2018 and began by producing aesthetically pleasing vape pens. The brandās name was thoughtfully chosen with a definition described by themselves as āa moment of awareness. A connection to yourself, to others, and the world around youā. Or, by others, itās defined asĀ āthe realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your ownā just adding to their accepting, inclusive and self-aware nature.
Today, the LGBTQ co-founded brand is reaching all new heights with its Space Crystals line of THC-infused popping crystals, reminiscent of our childhood favās Pop Rocks. Not only are
Space CrystalsĀ a unique, and fun way to consume cannabis, but they offer a twist on the typical effect onset time of edibles. Since you hold the crystals in your mouth and let them pop, rock, and roll, youāre technically, sublingually, consuming the THC and infused cannabinoids. That means the compounds are absorbed directly into the bloodstream via the sublingual artery found under the tongue.
By doing so, effects that kick in within 15 minutes vs 45 minutes to an hour with standard edibles, youād swallow. With vibrant and eclectic flavors likeĀ Stoned Fruit, a combination of Apricot, Peach & Nectarine youāre guaranteed an explosion of good flavors and an extraordinary experience all around.
#4 ā WUNDER
Another LGBTQ friendly brand to sip on at any pride event, is Wunder. These non-GMO and gluten free sparkling beverages are as refreshing in taste as they are in supporting the queer community. This year, the brand is sponsoring the West Hollyword Pride Parade, and is dedicated to maintaining values of inclusion, equity and diversity with everything they do.
Their colorful cans match all the pride aesthetics, and deliver āhigher vibesā with eachĀ THC-infused drop. We think WunderāsĀ Watermelon BasilĀ andĀ Grapefruit HibiscusĀ flavors wouldĀ be the perfect pair to liven up your love is love festivities.
