Tea Pad: committed to Inclusion & Advancement via education
Our mission is to break down barriers to entry and advancement in the cannabis industry via education.
we've reinvented tea pads
The "tea pad" is part of a very rich history of cannabis (marijuana) in the
African-American community in
New York City and the jazz scene of the 1920s and '30s.
It was a dynamic time in American history.
During this time the United States government launched an aggressive campaign of
marijuana prohibition, which had a catastrophic impact on black and brown communities
for decades to come.
Tea pads were convivial speakeasy-style spaces where people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds
could come together with free from the violence of prohibition.
"It isn't where you came from; it's where
you're going that counts."
- Ella Fitzgerald
