Pleasantrees MSU Book Scholarship

Cannabis Dispensaries located in MI

Pleasantrees Cannabis Company is excited to announce the sponsorship of a new book scholarship. The company recognizes the disparate impact the criminalization of cannabis has had on certain communities. Noting that Pleasantrees operates a retail store in East Lansing, Michigan, it endeavors to make positive impact within the local community and support students at the university. In that vein and towards this goal, this scholarship will provide ten (10) $500 book scholarships to qualified applicants.
