Root’d In Equity: Root’d was founded by a team of devoted social equity owners, community leaders, and passionate cannabis pioneers. In 2016, Rickey McCullough, the CEO of Root’d, was awarded a license to open a dispensary through Oakland’s Cannabis License Equity Program, the program that was created to help compensate groups who had been disproportionately punished under oppressive drug legislation prior to legalization.

Root’d in Purpose: Roots provide nourishment. Roots give strength. Roots enable growth. Roots can be defined as the “origin” or the “source”. Root’d Dispensary and Lounge is the source for expertise, fun, compassion, and safe access to cannabis in Oakland. And Root’d is the start of a journey to change consciousness. Changed consciousness leads to changed communities.
