In this edition of our NCIA Committee Insights series originally aired on Wednesday, March 17, 2021 we were joined by members of NCIA’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee to discuss the key positions that all activists should dig their heels in to ensure cannabis legislation is as equitable as possible.

With the Mid-Atlantic poised to becoming the next region to ride the wave of cannabis legalization, this was a timely conversation to help those in the region understand what demands they should be making with their lawmakers, all from the perspectives of those who’ve come before us in different markets who’ve fought these kinds of battles.
