According to a news article on The City, a new cannabis fund has been established to support social equity in the opening of dispensaries in New York. The fund aims to provide financial assistance to individuals who have been disproportionately impacted by the war on drugs. This initiative comes as the state prepares to legalize recreational marijuana use, with Governor Kathy Hochul planning to issue the first set of licenses in the coming months. The fund is expected to help address the racial disparities in the cannabis industry, which have been a point of contention in other states where marijuana has been legalized. With the establishment of this fund, there is hope that more diverse and inclusive ownership will be fostered within the cannabis industry in New York.
