Every June is marked as LGBTQ+ Pride Month in America. Queer people and the allies who support them gather at parties, buy rainbow-laden goods, and shout out their hope for a world where people can express their true selves. This bleeds into the cannabis space, where brands and companies offer specialty products and throw events to celebrate Pride Month.
The Weed Auntie already threw Queer Prom with SASS in New York’s Bushwick borough, but there are still cannabis-infused Pride parties to attend before the month is up. These cannabis Pride products and events exist in the name of LGBTQ+ representation, and some even give back to the community.

DaySavers Pride Cones for a Cause
DaySavers sells pre-rolled cones, blunts, rolling papers, and accessories like the Perfect Pack Machine. This Pride Month, the company added a new product to its Cones for Cause line. The rainbow-tipped cones are not only themed for the parade. 10 percent of profits earned from their sale go to the ACLU Drag Defense Fund.
DaySavers’ Cones for a Cause also offers an American flag tip, which donates to Veterans, and a 40 Tons-branded tip that benefits cannabis justice reform. But in June, rainbow Pride cones are the move.
