Weed: All About It For 07/17/20-Social Equity In WA State Cannabis Market It’s time for the weed report! New legislation in Washington State aims to diversify marijuana industry! HB 2870 went into effect 6/11/20. The State commission on African American affairs using statistics from the LCB estimated that 1% of cannabis production and processing licenses have been issued to African Americans and only 3% of the states marijuana retail licenses. The new legislation will create a social equity program which will allow the Washington State Cannabis board to grant forfeited, cancelled, revoked or otherwise un-issued marijuana business licensed to qualified equity applicants. To qualify for the new program, an applicant must be from a “disproportionately impacted area,” defined as a census tract that has high poverty and unemployment rates, a high rate of participation in income-based government programs and high rates of arrest or punishment of cannabis-related crimes. The applicant must also submit a “social equity plan” showing how their business would help achieve equity-related goals. To learn more read this article from Marijuana Moment or view the legislation Here at Sea Change Cannabis, we applaud Washington State for the passage of this bill and firmly support the cannabis market being equitable to all! Don’t forget our hours have changed, We are now open 8am-10pm. Hope to see you soon!!
