Massachusetts grants exclusive 3-year licenses for weed delivery exclusively to social justice applicants

Massachusetts’ focus on combating the damage caused by the drug war has led to an unprecedented policy being adopted. The new directive gives applicants for social justice as well as applicants for economic empowerment the exclusive right to occupy the weed delivery industry.

State officials say both groups deserve to thrive in an unsaturated sector within the cannabis industry – without competition, unlike the retail and cultivation sectors.

This policy was approved by members of the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) on August 28th during a voting session. These minority groups were guaranteed an absence of newcomers for the next three years.

Massachusetts Social Justice Program; A model for other countries

Massachusetts cannabis entrepreneurs and government officials believe these unconventional policies will mark the start of great innovation inside and outside of Massachusetts. The state continues to focus on regulating the relatively new cannabis industry, but officials believe social justice is a big part of it.

As in other states, the war on drugs is penalizing millions of residents in many communities. Instead of waiting for the federal government to intervene, the states have started building structures to repair the damage caused.

By allowing only companies owned by social justice applicants to license weed delivery, Massachusetts has greatly increased the hope of many in disadvantaged communities.

This new policy gives minority owners affected by the war on drugs a chance to stay ahead of regular businesses for the next three years. After three years, other companies can start applying for licenses to supply weed within the state. This duration starts reading once the delivery of weed is fully legal.

Guidelines introduced

To ensure the weed delivery program stays on track, strict guidelines have been put in place to explicitly define the program.

Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission officials have defined the equity program’s goal as a means of creating a sustainable cannabis industry. Industry must have a significant impact on people who have been disadvantaged by disproportionate arrests and high incarceration rates.

Eligible social justice applicants who are selected receive exclusive licenses as well as fee waivers. This unique license gives the business owner exclusive access to license types that are only valid for delivery and remain valid for 36 months. You also have exclusive access to license types for social consumption. The fee waivers include registration fees, monthly program fees and a 50% discount on annual license fees.

The criteria for applicants for social justice include

• An income that is less than 400% of the average income in the municipality.

• Must have lived in deprived areas for at least five years in the past ten years.

• Cannabis-related conviction.

• Relationship with someone with a nonviolent marijuana conviction.

• Must be a person of color, either Black, Latino, or Hispanic.

• Experience in an area negatively affected by the war on drugs.

Only Colorado is rumored to have plans to introduce a similar licensing program for disadvantaged residents of the state.

An opening for young entrepreneurs

The new policy has opened up avenues for young Massachusetts residents who grew up in deprived areas.

These young entrepreneurs would have had no chance if this policy had not been approved. What makes it more unique is that it opened that door specifically for People of Color. You will be the first to benefit from the latest development.

One of the newest weed delivery companies to benefit from the new directive is We Can Deliver.

The brand had partnered with Cultivate, a well-respected cannabis retailer, and the Lantern app.

Brianna Grignon, the selected spokeswoman for the Cultivate group, paid tribute to the policy, saying the latest development will set the tone for applicants for cannabis supplies in Massachusetts. She said finding the right fit is an intense selection process.

One of the motivating stories that emerged from this recent policy is that of Gabe Salazar. He is the owner of the delivery business called We Can Deliver. His story is one of weed for Grace. In the past, Gabe has been caught in possession of cannabis and arrested with the intention of bringing charges. Now he’s actually delivering weed, but on a legal scale. As he was telling his story, Gabe gave a vivid description of how he was once stabbed in the head for an ounce of weed. He also said that over a pound of grass had been shot at. He said his current position as a legal weed supplier still feels unreal.

The legalization of cannabis in Massachusetts changed its history forever. Now he can deliver recreational grass without fear of being stabbed or shot at. In his words, he says he feels great delivering weed legally.

To order Gabe’s services, all you have to do is confirm in the Lantern app whether delivery is available for your region. You can then place an order.

Brianna made it clear that the safety of the delivery driver and customers is guaranteed. The drivers have body cams on their vehicles and even in the trunk. A team is on standby to monitor driver movements during delivery trips.

The entire process has been tested and proven to ensure that whatever needs to be done is done.

A new american dream

Brianna stated that these latest projects could spawn a new American dream. One that seeks out those previously overlooked to break into niches across different industries.

Massachusetts corrects an injustice done to thousands of people whose generations were disproportionately affected by the failed drug war.

People like Gabe can now look to the future with big plans for their company. All they have to do is manifest their dreams.

Will other states copy the model proposed by Massachusetts to have a racially and economically diverse cannabis industry? We will see!
