We’ve been blown away by the examples of generosity and kindness that are at the heart of so many brands in the community. We asked some of the most giving entrepreneurs and leaders we know to tell us about how they think about the practice of donating a percentage of sales.

The most impactful thing we do as a company is to operate a compassion program in which we get cannabis into the hand of patients who desperately need it but are not able to afford the medicine. We work with growers to source cannabis donations which we extract, package, and turn into our consumer driven products. We then donate these products to our retail partners through out the state who in turn donate the products to the patients that need them. Read more>>

I envied the magic he wielded, creating worlds with just a pencil and paper. That’s when my bond with drawing began. Read more>>
