Cannabis social equity has failed in the United States. Please point me to one program that is successful. It's time for an honest conversation about cannabis social equity in the United States. While the intentions behind these programs have been noble—seeking to address the harm caused by the War on Drugs—implementation has fallen far short in most states. Many small businesses, particularly those led by minority entrepreneurs, are struggling to break into an industry dominated by well-capitalized corporations. Bureaucratic red tape, lack of access to capital, and insufficient support have left many would-be participants behind. We must demand better. States need to reassess their social equity programs, ensure access to financial resources, and provide ongoing support for equity applicants if we want a truly inclusive industry. #CannabisIndustry #SocialEquity #CannabisReform #MinorityEntrepreneurs #CannabisBusiness #IllinoisCannabis #InclusionMatters #WarOnDrugs #CannabisLicensing #CannabisCommunity #EqualityInCannabis
