Forbes has released a very informative, yet stark, video on “How America Botched C*nn*bis Legalization” featuring some commentary from our Executive Director, Amber Senter. Check out the full 20 minute dive on #cannabislegalization at the link in our bio.

Numbers don’t lie. The Social Equity Impact Report was created to inform lawmakers and regulators on the financial return on investment a robust cannabis equity program creates for the communities that were most affected by the War on Drugs…it’s no chump change either!
Lawmakers have the chance to right the wrongs that were inflicted on the overpoliced Black and Brown communities targeted by the War on Drugs. The hard data in this report is crucial to pushing the re-investment process forward.
Are you an advocate, operator or policy maker interested in taking part in our Virtual Town Hall? Join us on Thursday, February 3 at 1 PST/ 4 EST. Registration is linked in our bio. #socialequity #cannabisreform #supernovawomen #impactreport #NoDrugWarV2
CONTACT CALIFORNIA’S BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE THIS WEEK!
Let’s not forget why Social Equity programs are launched in the first place: To right the wrongs of the compounding effects of the War on Drugs in Black + Brown communities.
The government cannot be allowed to back-door the profit margins of these programs with excessive taxes.
Chaney Turner (@social_life ) put it best - “ Social Equity is a form of restorative reparations.”
Get active: Contact members of the Budget + Finance Committee to demand tax reform. Contact Info + Sample Script is linked in our bio.

Community is power. See you there!
This year we took it speakeasy style with @supernovawomen at the eclectic, Black-owned Foreign Exchange Lounge in Vegas and the vibes were immaculate. From the moody lounge aesthetic to the community energy, every moment was a whole experience.
And yes… we even had a party bus parked outside for consumption 😎✨ Because D.I.C.E. always does it different.
If you were there, you know why the comments stay saying:
“DICE Mixer is the best party of MJBizCon.”
Thank you to everyone who pulled up, poured into the community, and kept the celebration going all night. Until next year… ♣️🖤

I (Amber Senter) am working in partnership with Reggie Harris @oakland.hyphae to host a gathering and free monthly catered breakfast for Black natural plant medicine business owners that are here in the Bay Area, CA. This includes cannab💨s, hemp, psychedelics, and medicinal herb business owners. The effort is to foster community and get folks talking to each other. If you fall in this category, please hit me up and send me a DM (@itsmeambere ). Thank you and please share.
Shout out to our very own Jessica Gonzalez (@jessfgonzalez ) and our favorite hermano in 🍃💨 reform Jason Ortiz (@jasonjortiz ) for collaborating to highlight the impact and challenges the Latin community faces in 🍃💨 in this informative op-ed during Hispanic Heritage Month. Thank you both for relentlessly continuing to fight for justice for Latinos and all drug war impacted people around the world! 🌎 🇪🇨 🇵🇷
“As Latino advocates with over 20 years of experience in cannabis policy, it’s disheartening to still look around and see the lack of Latino representation in various cannabis spaces.…Our community has been targeted, disrupted and exploited. By standing up, getting involved and pushing for change, we can claim our rightful place in an industry that can offer economic empowerment, healing and growth for the Latino community.”

FLORIDA: Amendment 3 allows the big 🍃💨 operators to keep things at status quo. It doesn't allow for a small business community, therefore does not create opportunities for Black and Brown businesses. It does not expunge records, it does not allow for home grow, and does nothing to release 🍃 prisoners. Artwork by @boxbrown
