"Social Equity" Program To Help Those Impacted By Drug War In Massachusetts
The state of Massachusetts is rolling out a new “social equity” program to help certain individuals navigate the legal cannabis industry.
Cannabis for adult (or “recreational”) use is a booming industry. It is legal in nine states and the District of Columbia, while more, including New Jersey and New York, may follow.
Equity programs already exist in California, but the one in Massachusetts would be the first in the nation to be applied statewide.
