About Us
Here to Help
The Buckbee Weed Co. is a hemp grower and processor based in Rockford, IL. Along with it's business partner, Sustainable Innovations, Inc., it has launched the Buckbee S.E.E.D. Co. to help entrepreneurs who want to bring a true hemp experience to those area that have been disproportionately impacted by the War on Drugs.
Social Equity and Economic Development
The Buckbee S.E.E.D. Co. is helping other minority-owned business open Hemp Dispensaries in "dispensary deserts." We are currently looking for motivated applicants who are willing to work hard. We are committed to ensuring that our partners are true equity stakeholders, and that they always maintain a majority ownership in their businesses.
Alignment of Social Justice
As cannabis legalization has come to Illinois, many minorities and communities of color have been left behind. While the law promised to level the playing field for Social Equity applicants, the first round of dispensary licenses has proved to be a disappointment. All of the dispensary licenses went to just a handful of applicants who do not in any way represent the communities that were most unjustly targeted by marijuana laws. The State has been left with large dispensary deserts in the very neighborhoods and disproportionately impacted areas that the law was meant to help. The dream of minority-owned dispensaries has seemingly vanished in a cloud of smoke. The Buckbee S.E.E.D. Co. is stepping in to help make the dream a reality.
