Green Culture - John Sinclair Comes Home to Flint for $99 OZ's

 

Flint, Michigan has a long history of being one of the epicenters of cannabis businesses, since the passing of the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act in 2008. Green Culture is a licensed medical and recreational provisioning center, and has risen to the top as the number one cannabis retailer in Genesee County. As the emerging marijuana market in Michigan evolves, prices have come down and stores like Green Culture have shared those cost savings with their customers and have found new ways to bring added value in a compassionate way. Legendary cannabis activist and connoisseur John Sinclair agreed to meet up with me in his old home town to visit his grand daughter and check out all the buzz coming from Green Culture.

Why is Green Culture so successful?  Selection, for one.  Green Culture has well over a hundred brands, from local Michigan businesses, to nationally recognized favorites.  This selection allows for a wide range of hard to beat prices, demonstrated by Green Cultures current flower and concentrate deals.  At just $99 an ounce for smoke, and four grams of concentrates (that’s over an 1/8th of an ounce) for $100, specials like these attract business.  

But it’s Green Culture’s homegrown attitude and hands-on approach to their community that keep people coming back.  Regular discounts, and whole vendor days, dedicated to seniors, veterans, and the deaf and hard of hearing show a real commitment to what’s important.  New Bud Tender Danny, whose employment not only opened a door for him, and for those who he will service, but for others in the industry who share his need for sign language as a form of communication, is a great example of Green Culture’s, well, culture.

Danny, who is a medical marijuana patient, recently joined the team at Green Culture after being a customer there for years. When asked why, Danny Explained:

 “Green Culture is the place where Deaf and HOH people have access to their Native language of American Sign Language (ASL) to get the information on flower strains, edibles and concentrates, to their health benefit, to be able to make a choice.  With a Deaf Budtender it makes communication effective, and without hesitation it would drastically reduce waiting time. Hosting Deaf Vendor Day to raise awareness for the community, with excellent discounts or better deals on the products, would raise awareness of our Deaf and HoH community and would make an impact on their lives and allow for the creation of job opportunities for the Deaf and HoH community in the Cannabis industry, including their quality of work! I would like to educate the cannabis industry and let them know that our disability of deafness or hearing loss doesn’t define our performance as long as they believe in us! I would like to break the barriers and build a bridge between the Cannabis Industry and Deaf/HOH community to be more Inclusive!”
