R29Unbothered’s High Impact is rewriting the rules of wellness, wealth, and weed for Black women with real and dynamic conversations that put US at the center.
Weed and the Black community have a fraught history. What was once throwing us in jail (and is STILL keeping us there) is now fueling a freshly legalized (in certain States) and white-dominated industry. With that in mind, there's no better way to celebrate 4/20 than to uplift Black people in the cannabis industry.
Even if you don't subscribe to the puff-puff-pass lifestyle, we found brands that offer hemp face masks, rejuvenating skincare, and more products that utilize the other wonders of cannabis. But, we also added in some edibles and pre-rolls that you can purchase online with no problem. Hey, it's 4/20 and a holiday is a holiday. From CBD softgels to Wake and Bake body scrubs, check out our prized shopping list of Black-owned cannabusinesses ahead.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.

Holmes Organics CBD Softgels
Founder, Cory Holmes, discovered the natural benefits of CBD after years of reliving traumas from his past. His brand focuses on making premium CBD products that help customers cope with the ups and downs of everyday life.
"I soon realized that the CBD industry is highly unregulated and full of poorly produced products," he said. "After trying several CBD brands on the market and only finding relief from one, I realized that there was a huge need for more premium quality CBD products. Holmes Organics was born after that."
