Cannabis Doing Good recognizes Terrapin Care Station for community improvement efforts

DENVER — Boulder-based dispensary chain Terrapin Care Station was recently recognized for its community engagement and anti-racism training efforts by Cannabis Doing Good, a Denver-based platform that connects cannabis firms with nonprofit groups and other community organizations in need of support.

TCS, which has local operations in Boulder and Longmont, won Cannabis Doing Good’s 2021 Change Maker Award, which honors pot firms that “support reparative efforts, seek justice and challenge systems that uphold inequity,” according to a CDG news release. 

CDG said it selected TCS for the award based on the implementation of internal anti-racism training and the establishment of an anti-racism employee committee.
