KNOW THE HISTORY. DO BETTER RETAIL.

QIC offers cannabis retail activations

Queer people didn't just participate in cannabis history. We helped change it.

QIC Retail Education brings that history directly to dispensary teams through engaging, approachable education rooted in the LGBTQ+ activists, patients and advocates who helped move cannabis from criminalization toward compassionate access and legalization.

Because understanding who helped build this industry matters, especially for the people representing it every day.

BRING QIC TO YOUR SHOPPE.

Our retail education experiences are designed for budtenders, managers and dispensary teams, connecting cannabis history with LGBTQ+ culture, inclusive customer experiences and the communities retailers serve. Real history, real conversation and information your team can actually carry onto the sales floor.

BECOME A QIC CERTIFIED SHOPPE.

Retail partners who complete our education program can earn recognition as a QIC Certified Shoppe, showing customers, employees and the community that your dispensary has invested in LGBTQ+ cannabis education and creating more welcoming retail spaces.

Learn the history. Educate your team. Show your community you give a damn.
