Cannabis Social Equity: How It Started and How It’s Going

Presented by the CLA Cannabis Practitioners Group Since 2017, laws across the country in the commercial cannabis space have changed significantly. Many state and local government programs were created to increase social equity and opportunities for marginalized groups disproportionately injured by the failed War on Drugs. And yet, people of color continue to be criminalized for their involvement with cannabis at a much higher rate than those in the majority, and most operators and investors in the commercial cannabis and hemp space continue to be white, straight, cis-gender men. This panel will discuss how implicit bias plays a role within this disparity and will address how marginalized people are impacted. Moderator: Khalil Ferguson Speakers: William Garriott, Beau Kilmer, and Magaly Ordonez
