MMD is honoring Black History Month and celebrating Black excellence by partnering with Black-owned cannabis brands and industry favorites to raise funds and awareness for these amazing nonprofits that support the Black community.

As well as raising funds and awareness for nonprofits doing critical work in the Black community, we want to celebrate Black excellence and perspectives within the MMD family. Get to know our amazing staff spotlighted below!

Cannabis history is Black History. It’s important for our industry to acknowledge the sacrifices and unjust treatment of the Black community historically related to cannabis. Damaging stereotypes were used in the 1930’s to fuel public panic. These racist attacks instigated by Harry Anslinger, the head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics were used to make cannabis illegal. This targeted racism continues today with devastating consequences for the Black community caused by the failed and unjust “War on Drugs”

As an industry we have a long way to go in addressing systemic racism and providing equitable opportunities.

Black History Month is a time to celebrate Black beauty, pride, excellence, and the significant contributions of the Black community but it is also a time to reflect on how we can collectively commit to fighting for justice and equality 365 days a year.
