Residents sound off on how to use cannabis social equity fees
Testimony gathered this week during three public hearings by the state Cannabis Regulatory Commission will help determine how officials will invest social equity fees raised from legal weed sales.
Advocates offered plenty of suggestions for the money, from buying baby bonds for low-income newborns and funding Black maternal health care centers to supporting reentry services for people leaving prison and creating a fund to help people harmed by the war on drugs.
