It all started when...
The inception of Asian American Cannabis Education can be traced back to a single inquiry that set in motion a dialogue leading to meaningful actions. It all began with a straightforward question: "Where are the Asian Americans in the cannabis industry?"
Despite being the fastest-growing racial group in the United States, Asian Americans grapple with pervasive stereotypes that range from "geisha" to "kung fu master" to "SAT nerds." We are often perceived as education-focused, diligent workers, more inclined to support than to lead, characterized as quiet individuals unlikely to make waves. However, the truth is quite the opposite: we are the trailblazers, carving out our own niche within the cannabis sector, both on the periphery and by directly engaging with the plant itself.
At AACE, we actively seek out these trailblazers, recognizing and celebrating their remarkable achievements in the cannabis industry.
“When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare
or compete, everyone will respect you.”
