EXCLUSIVE: Using Weed To Change The World: Meet The Cannabis Brands Making An Impact

Leune: Restorative Justice At The Forefront Of WOC Owned Brands

Leune is a female-founded, mission-driven cannabis brand dedicated to amplifying voices of equity in the cannabis space. From its inception, Leune has centered around restorative justice as a critical pillar of the brand's mission. 

Leune creates seasonal SKUs throughout the year where all proceeds support long-term partnerships with organizations such as Last Prisoner Project, Eaze Momentum and Broccoli's Florette Coalition.

“Social Impact is central to the mission of LEUNE. We are a values-first company and will always put a priority on raising the consciousness about the importance of social justice reform," LEUNE founder and CEO, Nidhi Lucky Handatold Benzinga. "To work in this industry is a privilege and to work toward the common goal of righting the wrongs of how the cannabis plant has historically been used as a tool to incarcerate communities of color is a moral imperative.”
