The National Hip-Hop Museum opening up three medical dispensaries in D.C.
The goal is to help raise more money for the museum
The National Hip-Hop Museum is tapping into the cannabis industry, opening three new dispensary locations in Washington, D.C., with an eye toward fundraising.
The Orbit Shop, the Lifted Shop and the Lifted Lounge do not serve solely as cannabis venues. Each store has a unique customer experience, including unique collectables, artwork and more.
Chief Executive Officer Jeremy Beaver spoke to the AFRO about the constant evolution of both the Hip-Hop Museum and the cannabis industry.
“The ever-changing aspect refers to the rollercoaster ride anyone would go on when trying to create the world’s first hip-hop museum. There’s a lot of challenges and a lot of really fun, fulfilling aspects. This is one of those fun, fulfilling aspects,” said Beaver. “With the help of our retail director Erica Parham, we transformed our gift and retail store into a world-class, online collectable and retail business with all things related to classic hip-hop. One of the big things we’re doing is using cannabis as an opportunity to raise more money for the museum while also adhering to the new laws in Washington, D.C.”
