Mission

Asian Americans for Cannabis Education (AACE) is an organization that focuses on educating and empowering Asian Americans about the benefits of cannabis. AACE aims to reduce the stigma surrounding cannabis by providing accurate information and resources to the community. We work to educate the public on the medicinal and therapeutic benefits of cannabis, and also advocate for sensible cannabis policies and regulations. AACE seeks to provide a platform for Asian American voices in the cannabis industry and to promote representation and inclusion in the fast-growing sector.
