A local cannabis activist says San Diego City Council is one vote away from a plan that could transform the face of the cannabis industry, benefitting those unfairly targeted by the war on drugs.

“In many cities you can’t have a felony and apply for a license. You have to have a certain economic status. It costs a lot of money to enter into the industry and if you’ve been impacted, set back like me, who couldn’t advance in ten years, you don’t have the resources to get into the industry,” said King.

King cited the cost as in the range of $2 million. He also works on school programs for young men at risk of drug addiction and gun violence. It’s unclear if Biden's pardon will erase King’s charges but it’s definitely a move in the right direction, he said. “Let’s go to work baby,” he shouted at the intimate audience gathered in a Solana Beach office space.

The Sister Cities Project compiles lists of action items at the end of meetings so that people in attendance can follow up in a tangible way toward the goals of the non-profit: working towards ending racism.
