Acute on Chronic | Cannabis and the LGBTQIA+ Community 6/3/22



Cannabis and the LGBTQIA+ community have a long inter-connected history of community and activism. The LGBTQIA+ community was a vital ally in the fight against cannabis prohibition and was responsible for medical and adult-use legalized cannabis.
LGBTQIA+ contributions to healthcare and cannabis.
LGBTQIA+ health issues and how cannabis can help.

In this talk, we honor early LGBTQIA activists and discuss the history of how the market we have today was won by early activists in the LGBTQIA community and communities.
We also discuss:
– A brief history of how these two communities intersected and moved cannabis science
and legalization forward.
– How can our communities utilize the strategies of these early activists for more equity
and access to healthcare and cannabis?
– Sexual health, HIV, the transgender community.
– Cannabis and other health issues.
