About Culture Nation, The Initiative

Culture Nation is a cannabis forward think tank in collaboration with media conglomerates, Benzinga, El Planteo and SOHH. CNM is dedicated to furthering the cannabis industry and related issues, based on racial justice and social equity. CNM addresses society as a whole, taking into account marginalized populations: BIPOC, immigrants, women, refugees, formerly incarcerated people and veterans who built cannabis culture and the industry. Cannabis culture is rooted in Hip-hop, reggae and music from around the globe. How can Hip-hop spark disruption? When music, entertainment and cannabis industries move in unison, it will be the blueprint for moral freedoms and rights for the disenfranchised.

Culture Nation features intimate roundtable discussions that bring leading cannabis experts, entrepreneurs, artists/entertainers and advocates to the space to engage in real time conversations that will inform and enact meaningful change. One world, dedicated to policy reform through leadership, advocacy and action.
