The Diasporic Alliance for Cannabis Opportunities and Black Cannabis Week

The Diasporic Alliance for Cannabis Opportunities is a community organization with a nonprofit fiduciary relationship with Marijuana Justice, a 501c3. Their main goal is to raise awareness about educational, wellness, and economic prospects in the cannabis industry across the diaspora. DACO strives to foster a balanced and thriving cannabis community that promotes physical and mental well-being.

Black Cannabis Week is one of DACO’s annual programming initiatives. It focuses on organizing cannabis events that span across the African diaspora. These events are hosted virtually and physically, offering opportunities for individuals to engage and participate. The primary aim of BCW is to provide a global platform that uplifts and empowers Black individuals within the cannabis industry, allowing their voices and contributions to be recognized and celebrated.
