How Pennsylvania Has Taken Steps to Address the Cannabis Industry’s Equity Problem
The London School of Economics and Political Science

Abstract
While cannabis decriminalization and legalization has grown across the states, the profits from cannabis-related businesses have tended to flow mainly to white men, raising issues of equity. In new research, Lee Hannah, Daniel Mallinson, and Lauren Azevedo evaluate measures introduced in Pennsylvania to improve equity in who benefits from cannabis sales. They write that such efforts to diversify dispensary placements to allow for marginalized groups to take part are a starting point in making the cannabis industry fairer.
