Social Equity Licenses

Social Equity Licenses are special permits granted to individuals or organizations from communities historically affected by disproportionate enforcement of laws, often related to cannabis or other regulated industries. These licenses aim to promote fair access, support economic participation, and address past injustices by providing opportunities for those impacted to enter regulated markets. Essentially, they are designed to level the playing field, helping marginalized groups to legitimately participate in growing industries, and fostering broader community benefits and social justice.
