The month of June commemorates a month-long celebration of pride. Specifically, this month seeks to honor the Stonewall riots and the role LGBTQ+ members have played in changing the world.
Contrary to popular notions, the LGBTQ+ community have always intersected with the marijuana-loving community. Apart from using marijuana in its purest form, members of the LGBT community have worked tirelessly to make the plant legal and accessible, especially for brothers and sisters who inflicted with AIDS in the late 80s and 90s.
Thanks to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer members in the country and around the world, people now have a clearer perception ofCBD products and the benefits it contains. Apart from its anti-inflammatory and healing properties, this miracle herb is also known for its ability to reduce pain.
This pride month take a look at the following CBD-themed films that feature LGBT members in the limelight. While you are it, you might want to take some CBD oil or vegan CBD gummies to enhance your viewing pleasure.
Moonlight
One of the most critically acclaimed films you absolutely have to watch this June is Moonlight. Apart from the wonderful cinematography and thought-provoking story, stay for the heartfelt performances of Chiron and Kevin. One part of the film shows the shared intimacy between the two. Kevin, having ingested marijuana, finds himself unable to resist long-time friend Chiron. Watch this intimate relationship evolve right through your very eyes.
The Miseducation of Cameron Post
The main protagonist of the film, Cameron Post herself, is sent to conversion camp. However, the conversion does not go as planned – instead of succumbing to the demands of the society, Cameron smokes marijuana and kisses whoever she wants.
Despite being set in the 90s, this film still tugs at the hearts of many people today. If its contemporary storytelling evokes something emotional in you, whip out some of your CBD oil and make a drink. You’ll find yourself calm and collected in no time.
Someone Great
Someone Great is a film that anchors itself to themes of heartbreak and loss. Despite this, the film confronts its issues head on. Take for example Erin, the lesbian friend of the group who tends to run another direction when faced with talks of committed. Taking solace in cannabis, she finds herself feeling stronger as the night goes in, eventually realizing that she has deeper feelings for her girlfriend than she cares to admit.
Keep your eyes peeled for these movies. With the legalization of cannabis today, there is no denying that these LGBTQ characters helped bring CBD products and marijuana into mainstream use, thus making people realize the positive effects of the plant.
