MARIJUANA INDUSTRY

The marijuana industry should benefit those most negatively impacted by the war on drugs.

 

Meg will advocate for:

RESTORATIVE JUSTICE

  • Directing marijuana tax revenues into social services and programs in the communities most negatively impacted by the war on drugs

  • Passing a bill to release inmates from prison who were convicted on marijuana possession

  • Increased diversity within the marijuana industry, specifically through the revision of licensing requirements and application processes

  • Emphasize restorative justice models when approaching marijuana licensing

  • Prioritize licenses going to people in economic empowerment or social equity programs

  • Implementing new regulation which would allow for social equity and economic empowerment applicants to receive a “pre-certification” for becoming licensed

  • Reduce the barriers to entry for social equity and economic empowerment applicants
