The "Green Rush" began in 2012 when Washington and Colorado legalized cannabis. Ever since, additional states and investors have taken advantage of the market. As with most industries, cannabis inequity exists for growers, manufacturers, distributors, dispensaries, and marketers of color. The "War on Drugs" impacted the Black Community the hardest, outnumbering whites on possession charges nearly 4-to-1. Now we see a new racial bias in terms of licensing, regulation, policy, even farming. Here are a few Black-Owned CBD brands and Cannabis Boutiques, having defied the odds, created nichés for themselves providing herbal remedies for all that ails you.
