The Cannabis industry is conservatively estimated at over 1 billion annually in NYC. There’s ALOT going on with Cannabis legislation in NYC. Recently, @NYU hosted panel on how to build and #inclusive  #sustainablecannabis industry. Facts from that event are woven through this video. The NY Cannabis community is galvanized in getting it right, supporting those most affected by the ‘war on drugs’ aka ‘war on disinvested communities of color’.

The how :
New York is planning a two tier system like the liquor authority - manufacture or seller

Licenses will focus on Bronx,Brooklyn,  and NYCHA housing. 40% of revenue will go back into those communities most affected by the ‘war on drugs’. Local  training and hiring is first. A comprehensive block by block database of cannabis related arrests from the 1990’s has been compiled and synthesized to create lists of the people and streets that fell victim to these arrest sweeps. The goal is to provide intensive wrap around services to reinvest and create resilient communities. Price of ‘flower’ has come down from $5400. a pound to $1900. a pound in the last two years.
NY Focus will be on local outdoor growing to make it economically viable. Properly resourced equity programs can be financed through bonds against future tax revenue.

Two major areas of focus – access to capital and real estate
- A fund will be launched for dispensaries
- Incubators in development

Let’s dip into cannabis culture.
Today is the last day to catch it @javitscenter

The expo covers the entire scope of the business of cannabis. Resources ranging from grow lights and fertilizers to production and consumer products. The culture of cannabis was represented through event producers, nightlife, retail shops and art.

As always, I’m drawn to products and Solopreneurs…
