Big House Cultivators and Gram Central are proud to sponsor a Black History Cannabis Event this February, celebrating Black culture, history, and advocacy in the cannabis industry. More than just a gathering, this event is an opportunity to learn, connect, and take action in the ongoing fight for equity and justice.
The event will feature two inspiring Black women leaders from Free My Weed Man, Diasporic Alliance of Cannabis Opportunities (DACO) & Black Cannabis Week, both of whom are on the frontlines of cannabis advocacy and community empowerment. Through personal stories and open dialogue, they will share insights on the historical impact of cannabis on Black communities, the barriers still in place today, and the work being done to create a more just and inclusive industry.
This event is about more than conversation—it’s about action. With the generous support of Big House Cultivation and Gram Central, we’re creating a space where education, advocacy, and community come together to drive meaningful change.
Kristal Bush is the powerhouse behind Free My Weed Man, a platform dedicated to exposing the injustices of cannabis-related incarceration and advocating for policy change. A fierce advocate for criminal justice reform, Kristal’s work focuses on uplifting communities impacted by the war on drugs and ensuring that legalization includes real equity for Black and Brown communities.
