5 Dispensaries To Visit During Pride Month

Pride Month is nearly gone, but it’s still time to treat yourself and support LGBTQ+ community. Cannabis and LGBTQ+ have a long intertwined history, and to this day, weed helps queer people to fight stress, drug and emotional abuse, and health issues connected with discrimination and mistreatment.

Here go five dispensaries and deliveries which are owned or known to support their respective LGBTQ+ communities. Make sure you visit — or if you live somewhere else, make sure to check your local dispensaries — we’re pretty sure you will be surprised these days!
