"Western NC Reservation Embraces Legalization of Marijuana"

The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians reservation in western North Carolina has voted to legalize the possession of marijuana, with 2,464 people voting in favor and 1,057 voting against. The tribe is already in the process of converting an old bingo hall into what is said to be the world's largest cannabis dispensary store, which could employ up to 400 people and offer around 350 products for sale. Supporters believe that legalizing marijuana will bring tourism and financial benefits to the tribe, while some remain concerned about potential abuse of the system.

From Jail to Legalization: Latino Marijuana Offenders Now Licensed to Sell.

New York's Conditional Adult-Use Retail Dispensary licensing program (CAURD) allows justice-involved people, who were previously convicted of marijuana-related offenses, and their family members to apply for licenses to become cannabis dispensary owners. The program was created to address the fallout for those most affected by the war on drugs, particularly people of color who accounted for 94% of pot-related arrests and summonses in the city in 2020. The CAURD program has faced pushback, but for those who have been incarcerated and now plan retail marijuana businesses after having obtained licenses, it's a new lease on life.
