I supported Prop 64, which legalized cannabis statewide, but more can be done to increase the equity of the cannabis industry. Large corporations are making huge profits while communities of color are not able to access this new growing industry. I support efforts to close illegal marijuana shops and to increase social equity and minority ownership of licensed cannabis businesses.
