cannabis social equity programs

Cannabis social equity programs aim to promote fairness in the legal cannabis industry by helping communities disproportionately affected by past drug laws. These programs provide resources like business training, licensing support, and financial assistance to individuals from underserved or marginalized backgrounds. The goal is to reduce barriers to entry, promote economic opportunity, and ensure equitable participation as cannabis markets expand. Essentially, they work to balance opportunities and repair some of the injustices caused by previous criminalization.
