Cannabis Social Equity: How We Can Do Better

Description:

The battle for cannabis social equity is multifaceted, with roots that extend deep in U.S. history. There’s no safe haven from the devastating impact of the War on Drugs on minorities, which still lingers in every state right alongside those profiting from the same plant that put thousands in prison. But progress is being made thanks to steadfast commitment from regulators, operators, educators and minorities themselves. This panel brings together voices from each side of the issue to uncover the minority cannabis entrepreneur’s true reality and how industry authorities can better meet their needs. Hear how leading names in cannabis reform are using their influence and expertise to break down misconceptions, lift up those with limited access to resources and bring true equity to cannabis.
