N.J.’s legal weed market still too white, state cannabis board member says

signed in 2021 gives the commission the authority, “to make decisions based on market needs and what the market demands.”

To help minorities, women, veterans, come from a low-income community or have a prior marijuana arrest, the commission’s staff review their applications ahead of other competitors.

“I believe we have the power to go slower and not necessarily roll it out in a manner that creates more market but more equitable opportunity. We can be more patient until it is a more level playing field. We can propose parity, so people can start on equal footing,” Barker said. Vice Chairman Sam Delgado cautioned they needed to be “judicious in our approach.“ The commission had approved just one majority Black-owned business applicants at the meeting, he said. Delaying the vote wouldn’t have been fair to that minority applicant.

Wow now they are dictating ethnic into weed industry, really such a sad state

Let people grow at home.

The Crayola police! Black, Brown, Red, Yellow, White…….. And the score is…..

Wall Street and finance too Jewish. What about that?

It’s always about Race when it does not appeal to someone! Guess this is the new norm

Need more black owned businesses, need more black teachers, need more black doctors....Blacks only make up 14% of the population. That's why you see more whites because they make up 72% of the population in NJ. Simple Statistics...

Is this satire?

It’s disgusting how the left liberal crazy people see everything through the eyes of color and race schism everything racism. It’s getting old

The NBA is to black, what are the plans to address that?

Translation: 'Drug slingers are too white damnit we need more black drug slingers'

that's because legal weed companies won't hire people with criminal backgrounds.

🙄

Funny that they never say that about the clientele….

Well that’s a racist comment

Enough with the race baiting!

ScottAdamsSays no one canceled him…

Can you get more racist than this? The reasoning behind it is insane.

m that entire board needs to go

Imagine saying it’s “too black”. Clown show

Why does that matter?
