What is Daco?

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

  • The stigma associated with cannabis has negatively impacted Black communities directly and indirectly. Achievements of those who have advanced despite reprehension go almost without notice in the cannabis industry.

  • BCW was created as a themed week to highlight Black businesses, brands, organizations, and local activists during a 7-day time frame to engage and renew the commitment toward a more informed, safe and equitable cannabis community
