SIGN LANGUAGE FOR CANNABIS
The Collaborative Movement To Infuse Sign Language Into The World Of Cannabis
“Okay. AMAZING. Thank you so much for this opportunity today! I learned a boatload in only 60 minutes and Matt (of DeafinitelyDope.org) was the best teacher I could have imagined. This made a huge impact on me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
— David Tart, Marketing Manager (Curaleaf)
COMMUNITY UPDATE
This community-wide movement calls for a community wide-response. That’s why we’re changing how we’re doing things. Instead of 2-3 Sponsors, we’re inviting everyone to help bring back Sign Language Classes For Cannabis! Our initial goal is 30 supporters at $10+/month to cover the minimum program costs. Once we achieve this, we will work together to collaboratively grow the program from there.

In partnership with Matt Maxey & his team at Deafinitely Dope, we provided six months of FREE American Sign Language (ASL) classes for Budtenders & the cannabis industry. We learned words and phrases that helped us better connect with our coworkers, customers, community members & friends who are d/Deaf or Hard of Hearing. Now it’s time to bring the classes back - and you’re invited to join us!
