cannabis social equity

Cannabis social equity refers to policies aimed at addressing the historical injustices associated with marijuana laws. It promotes opportunities for communities and individuals disproportionately affected by past drug enforcement by providing access to licenses, resources, or support for participating in the legal cannabis industry. The goal is to foster equitable economic growth, reduce systemic disparities, and ensure that those impacted by criminalization can benefit from the industry’s development. Essentially, it seeks to balance the economic and social inequalities created by previous drug policies, creating a more inclusive framework for cannabis legalization.
