Cannabis equity initiatives

Cannabis equity initiatives are programs designed to give underrepresented or negatively impacted communities fair opportunities in the legal cannabis industry. These initiatives aim to address past injustices related to drug laws, such as reducing barriers to licensing, providing funding or training, and promoting diversity. The goal is to create a more equitable market where groups historically harmed by prohibition can participate, succeed, and benefit economically, helping to repair social and economic disparities caused by past policies.
