Los Angeles Cannabis Equity Program

The Los Angeles Cannabis Equity Program aims to create fair opportunities for individuals and communities disproportionately affected by past cannabis prohibition. Established after California legalized cannabis, the program provides support, resources, and financial assistance to help these individuals start and operate cannabis businesses. This includes reduced application fees, training, and access to grants. The initiative seeks to ensure that those who faced the most harm from cannabis laws have a chance to succeed in the emerging cannabis industry, promoting social equity and economic empowerment in the community.
