Founder: Rich Magaña | Motto: “Limp Wrist, Raised Fist”

In a world where cannabis culture meets unapologetic activism, Queer in Cannabis (QIC) stands tall as a vibrant and inclusive collective dedicated to amplifying LGBTQIA+ voices within the cannabis space. Founded by Rich Magaña, QIC is more than a brand—it’s a movement rooted in community, education, and fierce advocacy.

QIC honors the LGBTQIA+ advocates and trailBLAZERS who’ve paved the way in both cannabis and queer rights. It’s a space where stories are told, history is preserved, and safe, welcoming environments are cultivated—both literally and figuratively.

Our Mission

At Queer in Cannabis, our mission is clear:

• Educate the cannabis community on LGBTQIA+ history and contributions
• Advocate for marginalized voices both inside and outside the dispensary
• Create and maintain safe, inclusive spaces for the queer+ community

Giving Back in 2025: Regional & National Impact

Regional Focus

QIC believes true change starts locally. This year, we’re supporting:

• Worcester Pride
• Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition (MTPC)

Both organizations are pillars of the local LGBTQIA+ community, but like many grassroots movements, they face major challenges due to underfunding from traditional donors. QIC is stepping up to help. 

National Focus

To amplify our reach, we’re supporting:

• The Trevor Project, fighting to end suicide among LGBTQIA+ youth
• Advocates for Trans Equality, a trans-led nonprofit breaking legal and policy barriers
