February is Black History Month. In addition to learning about Black history, we encourage our members to support Black-owned cannabis businesses. Buying from Black-owned licensed producers (LPs), shops, and brands is one of many ways to be an ally and show support to a community that has been deeply affected by systemic racism.
A quick Google search can direct you to Black-owned businesses within your community, but here are a few Black-owned businesses in the Canadian cannabis space that we encourage you to support and shop with!

Mota Toke

Located at 249 Greenwood Ave in East York, Mota Toke was the 250th Authourized Retailer to open in Ontario. Co-owner Dwight Clarke takes pride in the fact that they run a fully-independent black-owned business.

Representation matters. Canada’s cannabis industry is becoming a diverse marketplace and buying from BIPOC-owned businesses is a great way to support diversity in cannabis.
