BEAR DANCE ADVOCACY STATEMENT:

We believe that it’s impossible to separate our evolving cannabis industry from the history of cannabis prohibition and the disproportionate effects it has had on BIPOC (black, indigenous, and people of color).

Cannabis is for everyone — our store is a politics-free zone — However, we believe that legalization and structural racism are human rights issues, not political issues.

The corporate medical industry is set on establishing an oligopoly in limited markets, restricting access and choice for the people that need it most. If the barrier to enter the recreational market as a business is too high, reparations will never be made, there will be no inclusivity, people will continue to be taken advantage of, and we won't get better.

We are committed to advocating for an OPEN, regulated market in which small businesses are allowed to compete and the long-term social effects of prohibition may be addressed.
