Every pack is assembled and packed on-site at participating retailers. It’s sold in-store throughout Los Angeles, including Green Qween, an LGBTQ and POC-owned shop.

The company’s additional retail partners include:

  • Pure Life Alternative Wellness
  • Atrium in Valley Village and Topanga
  • Jungle Boys in Orange County and downtown Los Angeles
  • Sixty Four & Hope in Melrose
  • Eaze in Santa Ana and San Diego
  • South Coast Safe Access in Santa Ana
  • Klover in San Diego
  • And Element 7 in Port Hueneme.

Tempo Crackers founder and CEO Robert Holland, who came out as gay at a young age, found community and acceptance in cannabis.

Dispensary partners have provided Tempo Crackers with a platform to tell their story, and through which the company can reflect the Pride flag colors on the product packaging, he explained.

“Queer representation in retail is under attack across the nation as big box retailers deprioritize their Pride selections following pressure from conservative activists,” Holland said. “While many dispensaries face that same pressure, Tempo is an LGBTQ-first brand all year round, and we are committed to loudly representing ourselves.”
