Gay-Owned Dispensary Raising Money for Multiple CausesĀ 

Jul 6, 2022 | Feature, Michigan

Michigan’s first LGBTQ-owned and operated marijuana dispensary, Green Koi, is committed to the community. Based in Douglas/Saugatuck and right next door to The Dunes Resort, the dispensary’s founders are raising funds to support two important causes: sheltered animals in need and international LGBTQ+ refugees.

ā€œWe are assisting those in need on both a local and global level by raising funds for a local non-profit and a global non-profit organization,ā€ said Green Koi Co-Owner Ethan Del Stone. 

Green Koi is leveraging its partnership with brands such asĀ Green Gruff CBDĀ pet products andĀ CrescoĀ cannabis products to make this possible. ā€œBetween our in-store promotions, charitable social events and donating directly to other non-profit organizations, it is our way of making a difference,ā€ Del Stone shared. ā€œWe co-host charitable events with other LGBTQ-owned businesses such asĀ CampIt,Ā The Dunes ResortĀ andĀ Isabel’s Market + EateryĀ to raise funds. Green Koi is inclusive, and we are open to collaborating with our allies from all walks of life.ā€
