However you celebrate Pride month, cannabis is bound to make your celebration a little *gayer*. We’ve chosen five LGBTQ+ owned brands we think you should check out the next time you’re making the rounds at your local dispensary 👇. Happy Pride month from the team at Headset!
CANN
HQ: California
Product category: Beverage
Best-selling product: Blood Orange Cardamom
CANN, the award-winning “social tonic,” has been one of California’s leading infused beverages, claiming the number one spot in total sales during 2020, 2021, and 2022. Their ingenious and playful marketing tactics have garnered them instant consumer recognition from both canna-curious and aficionados alike. At last year’s Clio Cannabis Awards, CANN was awarded “Brand of the Year” along with a slew of other awards, 5 of which were attributed to their viral Pride 2022 campaign — who else is still bumping “Taste so good”?
Sundae School
HQ: California
Product categories: Pre-roll, Edible
Best-selling product: Nightcap Bullets - Kira Kira Diamond Infused Pre-Rolls
Sundae School sparks an era of religious revival with their lifestyle brand designed for “higher minds” — the Korean-American brand, which first got its footing in New York with its unisex smokewear label, has since ventured into the California market with its splashy line of pre-rolls and edibles. Since their 2020 debut, the brand has seen an average sales growth of 24% over the last three years.
CommCan
HQ: Massachusetts
Product Categories: Beverage, Concentrate, Flower, Edible, Tincture
Hot new release: SIP Terp Tonic
CommCan, short for the Commonwealth Cannabis Collective, is one of Massachusetts’ largest LGBTQ+ owned cannabis company in the state. Home to brands like DRiP, SIP, Bite and TINQ, the Collective is also family-run and female-owned…and just happens to be a Headset customer (we’re not biased at all). Recently, CommCan made headlines with their “Terp Tonic,” the first cannabis-flavored beverage in the MA market, which you can find at one of their two storefront locations.
Earth Kisses Sky Inc.

EKS is one of 36 brands currently selling topical products in the Ontario market.
