The Kind

Jun 1, 2021

The Kind is the way ahead for conscientious and forward-thinking brands who bring accurate representation to cannabis leadership. We are aiming higher and elevating all of our exceptional partners who are fighting the good fight! 

What is The Kind?

  1. An opportunity to showcase brands and companies that align with CGP’s core values of equal opportunity, diversity and inclusion and non-discrimination.

  2. A collaboration of industry leaders and activists dedicated to making the cannabis industry a better place through acts of  inclusion, social justice, & community outreach. 

  3. A place for consumers to support businesses who give back and work diligently to do the right thing.

  4. A dedicated space to right the wrongs of Zero Tolerance laws and to showcase and support Black, Women, and Minority-owned businesses.

  5. A platform to give consumers honest insight into what is going into the products they consume and how companies are doing their part to be green. 

Why be a part of The Kind?

  1. To know who makes the products you consume and what is actually in the cannabis you consume.

  2. To shine a light on the people actively breaking the grass ceiling and to help change the fact that currently only 37% of cannabis industry executives are female and only 19% of businesses are minority-owned. 

  3. To inspire more companies to operate in ethical and environmentally friendly ways. 

How The Kind is doing good:

  1. By giving a broader and more powerful voice to the companies who deserve it.

  2. By highlighting and promoting products that are Kind for all the right reasons. 

  3. Through consumer education on the most critical parts of the industry
