Why it matters: Dispensaries in the cannabis industry are participating in turkey drives this Thanksgiving to give away free turkeys to those in need. This is a way for dispensaries to give back to their communities and promote a spirit of thankfulness.
What they are saying: Puff Cannabis Company plans to give away over 2,500 turkeys to people in need, doubling the amount distributed last year. Light’N Up Cannabis Company and MariMed are also participating in turkey drives, donating turkeys to local nonprofits and communities. Bulldog Cannabis is giving away 100 turkeys to families in Thousand Palms, California.
The big picture: Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated with a feast, and dispensaries are stepping up to help those who can’t afford a Thanksgiving meal this year. This is a way for the cannabis industry to support their communities and show gratitude for their customers’ support.
What to watch: Watch for more dispensaries and cannabis companies to participate in turkey drives and other charitable initiatives during the holiday season. This can be an opportunity for the industry to build a positive reputation and strengthen community ties.
My take: It is heartwarming to see dispensaries in the cannabis industry giving back to their communities by providing free turkeys to those in need. This shows that the industry is not solely focused on profits but also cares about the well-being of their customers and the communities they serve. By participating in charitable initiatives, dispensaries can strengthen their relationships with their customers and create a positive image for the cannabis industry as a whole.
