Cannabis Social Equity Act

The Cannabis Social Equity Act aims to address the unfair impacts of past marijuana laws by providing opportunities for communities and individuals disproportionately affected by past drug enforcement. It seeks to promote equitable participation in the legal cannabis industry through measures like licensing preference, financial support, and community investment. The goal is to rectify historical injustices, foster economic development in marginalized communities, and ensure that those harmed by previous policies benefit from the growing legal industry. Overall, it balances legalization with social responsibility, promoting fairness and inclusivity.
