All eyes are on the LGBTQ community during Pride month. June often becomes full of fabulous celebrations, “woke” marketing tactics, and sometimes difficult discussions about LGBTQ rights, representation, equality, and advocacy. Weedmaps News sat down with four cannabis industry leaders — Christine De La Rosa, co-founder of The People's Dispensary in Oakland, California; Leon Mostovoy, founder of Wings of Wellness and co-founder of Pride Wellness in Los Angeles; Buck Angel, co-founder of Pride Wellness; and Katie Stem, co-founder of Peak Extracts — who identify as members of the LGBTQ community to ask them where they see the LGBTQ community's place in weed culture at large.

While one, recently named the most violent city in the world by Mexico's Citizens' Council for Public Safety and Criminal Justice , is still very much grappling with the fallout from the 2000s drug war, the other simply wants to enjoy a peaceful, trendy new way of life .  For the younger generation and those responsible for the growing number of hipster businesses propelling Tijuana into the future , legal cannabis presents exciting cultural and monetary opportunities into the city. “Legal weed here is going to happen, but probably not for another year,” said Pedro Gastelum, the 20-something co-founder of Tijuana High Club, the city's first head shop aimed at savvy cannabis users.
