Puff, Puff, Pass: Equity in Cannabis Legalization

This event took place on Sunday, March 13, 2022 at 2:30 PM UTC.

As the fastest-growing American industry, cannabis has offered new economic opportunities to people across the country, but for many, those opportunities are still out of reach. As more states legalize, crafting policies that help to create a fair and equitable cannabis industry has never been more important. Leafly’s Janessa Bailey has created a first-of-its-kind, state-by-state report measuring equity and justice within state cannabis legalization and identifies the 8 key policies that states must include to create the kind of markets that provide opportunities to all. As Leafly’s culture editor, Janessa has a unique perspective into policies that work — and those that don’t — and is a crucial voice as momentum around cannabis legalization continues to build.
