Celebrating Pride Month 2022

Pride Month 2022 is here and we are so excited to elevate and support LGBTQ+ owned cannabis brands as well as cannabis brands that are allies to the LGBTQ+ communities. Written by Lucas Indrikovs.

Pride Month 2022 is here and we are so excited to elevate and support LGBTQ+ owned cannabis brands as well as cannabis brands that are allies to the LGBTQ+ communities. Gay Pride was meant to commemorate the Stonewall Riots of 1969 and since that fateful day, Gay Pride (or Pride Month) has become a celebration of equality for all members of the LGBTQ+ communities as well as other marginalized populations around the world.

Let’s celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month 2022 by being an ally and lifting humans around us who may not have the platform they so deserve. As cannabis enthusiasts, one good way to support our LGBTQ+ friends and family is by supporting brands that champion their rights and values.

Camino - A Passionately Proud Brand

Now in their fifth year as outspoken LGBTQ+ supporters, Camino is once again rolling out their special edition Proud gummies with all the complex cannabinoid profiles we’re used to getting from Camino but with a little extra attitude mixed in. Camino’s Passionfruit Punch Proud Gummies are an energizing, mood-enhancing edible experience of sweet, tropical fruit flavors formulated to help you stand Loud, Proud, and Unbowed.

As a way of showing their love to all members of the Pride congregation, Kiva and Camino are donating $100,000 this year to some of the most impactful charities in this space: FOLX HRT Care Fund in partnership with the National Black Trans Advocacy Coalition (BTAC), Transgender Law Center, the LA LGBT Center, and GLAAD.

CANN - It “Tastes So Good” to “Say Gay”

CANN is a queer-founded cannabis drink company that has risen to the top ranks to become one of the leading cannabis brands in the world.

To celebrate Pride 2022, CANN has partnered with Weedmaps with a launch of their “Say Gay” campaign as a way to say “Celebrate who you are and be your true self to the world!”

CANN has also developed four new flavors of their crowd-favorite Lite drinks including Honeydew Mint, Cloudy Apple Rhubarb, Tangerine Hops, and Golden Citrus Bark. But that’s not all! CANN collaborated with an incredible array of queer icons and celebrity allies to record a fun, enigmatic summer pop track and music video called “Tastes So Good.”

LGBTQ+ or LGBTQ-PLUS?

The gorgeous array of colors on these gummies will match any Pride outfit you’re planning this year.
