I’m on a mission to normalize cannabis in AAPI communities. There’s so much negative stigma and the only way to change it is to see Asians who talk about it more openly, share stories, and be visible in positive ways to start to change people's opinions.

When I first got into the cannabis industry, reading articles and seeing faces in the crowd who looked like me made me feel welcomed and empowered.

In celebration of AAPI Heritage Month, here’s a list of the most badass, culture-shifting AAPI cannabis brands, people, and groups you need to know.
