Higher Learning - 5 Black Owned Marijuana and CBD Companies You Should Know About
Although I’ve never been one to indulge in “special brownies” or the green ingredient that goes in them, the marijuana industry is one that has truly been interesting to watch evolve over the years. Something that was once looked at as a gateway drug and landed so many Black and Brown people in prison is now one of the fastest-growing industries to invest in. Everywhere you look people are lining up at dispensaries and finally learning all of the benefits of this special little plant. Here are five Black-owned marijuana and CBD businesses:
Inflorescence - Inflorescence is a Black woman-owned wellness brand built on quality. They source their hemp from a small family farm in Vermont that goes directly to a sister manufacturer nearby to provide high-quality hemp products and raw material. They offer a variety of CBD products that have the potential to serve as a solution for your every pain point including bath bombs and soothing salves. https://shopinflorescence.com/
Roll Up Life - Roll-Up Life was started in 2018 after the CEO noticed the lack of Black faces represented within the cannabis community. As a result, he began on a voyage that would later become Roll Up Life Inc. It is now the mission of the company to connect the cannabis industry through transportation and delivery to create a seamless cycle that helps products circulate throughout the New Jersey market from seed to sale. http://rolluplife.com/
Frigg - After becoming overwhelmed and burnt out after years of working in wellness, Frigg founder Kimberly K. Dillon took matters into her own hands and developed a sandwich approach of taking CBD internally and externally. She built a wellness brand that cracked the door on conversations about mental well-being, exhaustion, and how stress can impact us internally and externally, even if it's disguised as dry skin, insomnia, or an itchy scalp. https://www.getfrigg.com/
Undefined Beauty - Undefined is clean, conscious, inclusive, plant magic. They live at the intersection of where wellness meets adaptogens (CBD) meets purpose-driven conscious capitalism. Their mission is to “undefine” and democratize beauty and destigmatize plant-based solutions through an unapologetic, uncompromising, unfiltered approach. https://un-definedbeauty.com/
KINFOLK - KINFOLK Dispensary is a medical cannabis dispensary located in the Mount Vernon Triangle, DC neighborhood. KINFOLK is licensed by the Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration (ABRA) to provide medical cannabis to Washington D.C. residents and medical marijuana patients nationwide. They carry more than 200 cannabis products, all grown and produced here in the District of Columbia, including a wide variety of accessories to elevate your cannabis consumption based on your personal needs and style. https://kinfolkdispensary.com/
