For our second check-in with the Queer Cannabis Club, we're looking at how LGBTQ+ owned cannabis companies are setting the tone for true inclusivity this Pride month.

First, host Brit Smith talks to Luke Anderson, founder of CANN infused social tonics, and Juanjo Feijo, Chief Marketing Officer at WeedMaps, to discuss the new CANN x WeedMaps Pride marketing campaign; the iconic new pop song and music video "Taste So Good," featuring an incredible lineup of LGBTQ+ celebs and allies.

Then, Brit checks in with Andres Rigal, co-founder of Green Qween dispensary in Downtown Los Angeles, where they're showing others in the legal industry how to support the LGBTQ+ cannabis community year-round. Green Qween stocks its shelves with products made by local queer and BIPOC-owned marijuana companies, they hire low-income and unhoused queer people, they’re helping fund the Downtown LA Proud Community Center, and they’ve got an incubator program to help local queer-owned marijuana brands grow.
