The day after Thanksgiving has long been viewed as the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season. But sometimes, giving money towards something meaningful can be just as rewarding as spending it on yourself and your loved ones. With this in mind, we’ve put together a list of brands that are focused on doing good. Whether they’re benefiting animal rescues, veterans, women, or members of the LGBTQ community, these remarkable companies are just a few of the many cannabis-friendly brands that are doing their part to help make the world around us a better place.

Goldleaf

Many people already know Goldleaf as the purveyor of guided journals geared to consumers, growers, and other cannabis enthusiasts. What people may not know, however, is that the Ohio-based company also makes art supplies and stunning prints, and that proceeds from the sales of some of those prints, like the Project Sanctuary Cannabis Prints, for example, go towards helping others. In this case, proceeds benefit the eponymous Project Sanctuary, a nonprofit organization founded in 2007 that’s dedicated to helping military families thrive. Goldleaf has also partnered with the Last Prisoner Project, donating proceeds from sales of the Southern California Cannabis Travel Art Print to the organization dedicated to helping prisoners convicted of cannabis-related crimes.

W!NK

Founded in 2015, W!NK is a trailblazing women-centric CBD brand that’s fiercely focused on crafting high-quality vegan beauty and wellness products, spanning everything from capsules and tinctures to lotions, scrubs, vapes, and more. The company’s founder Stacy Verbiest started W!NK as a way to create specially formulated products for a friend who was undergoing treatment after being diagnosed with breast cancer. In this spirit, W!NK’s nonprofit MB Beach Buds was established to fund mammograms for uninsured or under-insured women in order to further the opportunity for early detection.

Magical Butter

Magical Butter’s iconic push-button countertop extractor has made cooking with marijuana much easier for cannabis chefs while also facilitating the crafting of herb-infused beauty serums, lotions, creams, and more. Perhaps just as impressive as the extractor itself is the fact that the inventor of Magical Butter, Garyn Angel, has also established the Cheers to Goodness Foundation with a simple goal in mind: to bring treatment to medical refugees who are caught behind the bureaucratic red tape of state-mandated cannabis laws. Supporters have the option of donating to the nonprofit directly or requesting that their funds go towards a specific individual in need of treatment.

GirlsGoneHigher.com is a new brand dedicated to supporting members of the LGBTQ community, which is a vital yet all-too-often ignored sector of the cannabis industry. “As a bisexual female who both enjoys cannabis and appreciates its value to society, I’ve found it very disappointing that our ‘community’ is being overlooked,” said GirlsGoneHigher.com’s Chief Creative Officer, Isabel, in a press release. “With this new brand, we hope to quickly change any associated stigmas by getting the LGBTQ community – as well as females in general – to proudly wear their love for getting higher.” GirlsGoneHigher.com features a line of fashionable apparel and accessories with the iconic cannabis leaf in solid green or rainbow colors, with a percentage of proceeds going towards LGBTQ-friendly non-profits.
