PRODUCT PURCHASING

A Therapeutic Alternative believes in supporting local businesses, small businesses, and legacy operators when choosing the brands we carry. As large business takes over our industry, we have seen many legacy companies struggle to survive, and have seen the diversity of gender, race, and socioeconomic leadership drastically decrease.

As buyers of products, we have the ability to vote with our dollar to preserve our industry and support small, diverse businesses that give back to advocacy and care about environmental sustainability.

With this in mind, before we choose to work with any company, we ask them the following questions –

  • When and where was your company founded?
  • Who are your owners and what is the company’s story?
  • What is the size of your farm or do you source from small farms?
  • Do you use environmentally sustainable business practices?
  • How do you give back to your community and/or advocate for the cannabis community?

By asking these questions we seek to identify companies: with diverse ownership, including women, minority, and LGBTQ owned businesses; who are legacy operators; who run small farms or purchase from small farms; or are focused on giving back to the cannabis community, the environment, and the community at large.

If you would like to reach out to our Product Purchasing Department, please e-mail them at [email protected] and include answers to the above questions.
