Equity in Cannabis

Equity in cannabis refers to creating fair opportunities for individuals and communities that have been historically marginalized or disproportionately affected by cannabis prohibition. It aims to address social injustices by providing access to the cannabis industry for those impacted by past criminalization, often through support programs, grants, and technical assistance. In addition, equity initiatives may include policies like reduced licensing fees or expungement of past cannabis-related convictions. Overall, the goal is to ensure that all communities can benefit from the legal cannabis market, promoting inclusivity and fostering economic opportunities for diverse groups.
