Our integrated healthcare, life-changing services, relentless advocacy, and social enterprises break barriers and involve the whole community in building a more compassionate and equitable world.
We are proud to feature cannabis products from LGBTQ+-, BIPOC-, and women-led brands, ensuring that the industry benefits those historically affected by drug criminalization.
Your purchase helps us continue to spread the love throughout NYC. Thank you.
