Nonprofit opens three Washington, DC-based dispensaries and plans to launch coffee-infused cannabis product line
WASHINGTON, DC (Feb. 18, 2025) – Nonprofits are always challenged to find ways to generate revenue and The National Hip-Hop Museum (NHHM) has found a viable solution in cannabis.
NHHM now owns and operates three dispensary locations in the nation’s capital: the Lifted Shop, Lifted Lounge and Orbit Shop – all with premium cannabis products, including top-tier flower, edibles, concentrates and accessories.
Setting them apart from other cannabis venues is that NHMM’s locations comprise themed artwork, artifacts and interactive exhibits from the Museum. Plus, the products themselves come in exclusive hip-hop strains like "SLAM" from ONYX, "Googley Goo" from DAS EFX, "Sugarhill Delight" from The Sugarhill Gang, "Casanova Fly" from Grandmaster Caz, "Strobelight Honey Hash" from Black Sheep, "Stunts, Blunts & Hip-Hop" from Diamond D and many more.
“Cannabis has been an integral part of hip-hop, and it’s been a win-win to offer hip-hop-themed strains in collaboration with hip-hop’s biggest names to generate revenue for hip-hop legends and the National Hip-Hop Museum,” said NHHM Founder/Collector Jeremy Beaver.
