NACB Urges Massachusetts Legislature to Enact Social Equity Bills
Legislation designed to strengthen the state’s cannabis social equity program.
The National Association of Cannabis Businesses (NACB) calls on members of the Massachusetts Legislature to enact pending bills designed to improve the effectiveness of the Commonwealth’s cannabis social equity program.
The state’s Legislature established the program in 2017 to ensure individuals who were incarcerated during the War on Drugs or reside in disproportionately impacted neighborhoods have a fair chance at jobs and business opportunities in the now-legal cannabis industry.
In letters to members of the Senate and House, the NACB threw its support behind bills that have also been endorsed by the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (CCC_, the Black Economic Council of Massachusetts and other stakeholders.
