The Full Spectrum

The Full Spectrum was formed to address the needs of LGBTQ people within the cannabis industry and community. This project recognizes that cannabis was legalized in direct response to the AIDS crisis, and that queer people are more than twice as likely to use cannabis. The Full Spectrum believe that LGBTQ people deserve a space to thrive within the cannabis industry, and that all people should have access to cannabis, medicinal and recreational.

The Full Spectrum offers multiple networking and socializing events throughout the year:

  • Virtual Smoke Seshes every week

  • The Full Spectrum Conference

  • The Full Spectrum Certification Program

  • 4/20 Social networking event

  • Marching in pride parades and tabling at pride festivals

  • Harvey Milk Day Educational programming

  • Pansexual Awareness Day Educational programming

  • The CannaPRIDE Show

  • NonBinary Awareness Week Educational programming

  • Community Cleanups

  • Brownie Mary Day Brownie Bake-Off

  • Bisexual Awareness Day Educational programming

  • Intersex Awareness Day Educational programming

  • Spirit Day Educational programming

  • Asexual Awareness Week Educational programming

  • Trans Day of Remembrance Educational programming
