Social equity - our promise
Ribbon-cutting day was a community milestone.
When Leafology opened on Main Street in 2024, we made commitments that go beyond selling quality cannabis. We committed to hiring from the neighborhoods we serve, sharing business ownership with every team member, and using our platform to advocate for social equity in the New York cannabis industry.
As a women-led, minority-owned, veteran-operated business, we understand firsthand that access and opportunity matter. New York's first-wave social equity license pathway was designed to prioritize applicants like us, and we take that responsibility seriously - from local hiring to partnering with neighborhood nonprofits.
