As one of the pioneers in the cannabis industry, I wanted to write this book to guide people looking to get into the cannabis industry. Being one of the first African Americans to have a cannabis business in the United States, I am more than qualified to tell the real story of the lack of social equity within the cannabis industry. I will offer insights and knowledge on cashing in on this industry with some of the advantages of a social equity license. In this book, I talk about a little history of the cannabis industry, and how the need for social equity evolved. I have traveled the country, for almost two decades, speaking with local Jurisdictions, governors, senators, and anyone who would listen on how to write policy, rules, and regulations within the industry. I am the chairman of the Social Equity Standing Committee with the National Hemp Association, and we are doing the same type of education within that industry.
