Why you Should Care About the National Cannabis Industry Association

Northern Lights Cannabis is a proud member of the National Cannabis Industry Association. You see their certification here and there and we display their logo right on our website. But what does that mean? And why should you care?  The National Cannabis Industry Association supports a responsible cannabis industry.

As the only national trade association that works to advance the cannabis industry, the National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA) uses legitimate and responsible means. According to the NCIA, the cannabis industry has created a new and very active economic marketplace, provides tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue and has created tens of thousands of jobs. As a major organization, the National Cannabis Industry Association works as an advocate for the cannabis industry. Their mission is to ensure that this young and continuously growing trade is treated fairly under federal law while encouraging the development of responsible and legitimate business practices.

But why?

Without the same level of resources offered to other businesses, the NCIA provides a network of support for its members.  Their mission to promote growth while working for a supportive social, economic and legal environment for the industry nationwide. Founded on the principle of “power in numbers”, the NCIA supports the thousands of cannabis businesses nationwide.  This budding industry represents a rapidly growing sector in the workforce and the NCIA represents the industry well in a professional manner. The cannabis industry is not just a bunch of pot heads growing weed under their beds and instead is filled with business people who understand the value cannabis brings to so many lives. Businesses represented by the NCIA are stronger because of their support.

So what does this mean for you – the consumer?

When you shop at a cannabis business that is a member of the National Cannabis Industry Association, you as the consumer can know that you are supporting a legitimate business and a responsible cannabis industry.  And in many cases, a legitimate small business. Not much different than shopping at your neighborhood Mom and Pop hardware store or clothing boutique. Members of the NCIA also are conducting business responsibly. We take our business very seriously at Northern Lights Cannabis Co. and are passionate about delivering the best to our customers. We take great pride in the quality of our product and bend over backwards to offer an excellent experience for our customers. We also value our deeply employees and understand the importance of their role in helping us help improve the lives of our customers. Our employees are like family to us here at Northern Lights Cannabis Co.

So the next time you see the National Cannabis Industry Association logo, just know that it means good things are happening as we keep building a responsible cannabis industry.
