Native Roots’ commitment to giving back highlighted

The Colorado marijuana dispensary chain donated more than $25,000 to Chanda Plan Foundation, which provides healthcare services for people with disabilities that are not covered by insurance.

The donation came from a June Wellness Month promotion that dedicated a portion of sales of three different marijuana strains high in CBD, which is typically used to manage pain and reduce inflammation.

“We are so honored that Native Roots picked Chanda Plan Foundation for this opportunity,” said Chanda Hinton Leichtle, Executive Director of Chanda Plan Foundation. “This donation is far more than what we imagined, and we will be able to impact many individuals because of it.”

CDPHE Head Sits Down with Colorado Leads

Dr. Larry Wolk, executive director and chief medical officer of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, told a crowded room of Colorado Leads members that the state “has a pragmatic, objective and evidence-based approach to marijuana legalization.”

Wolk discussed a wide-range of issues surrounding the legal cannabis industry and dispelled a number of myths perpetuated by legalization opponents.

“Access doesn’t necessarily mean an increase in use,” he said. “There is a very low rate of marijuana-related ER and hospital visits (in Colorado). We shouldn’t make more out of it.”
