A new commentary from MJBizDaily argues that diversity and equity are not interchangeable in the US cannabis industry, emphasizing that repair must follow harm and that power must include the people who built the road to legalization.

A commentary published by MJBizDaily contends that diversity and equity are distinct concepts in the US cannabis industry, warning against treating them as synonymous.

The piece argues that meaningful equity requires repair to follow harm, rather than relying on diversity metrics alone.

It further states that power must include the people who built the road to legalization, pointing to the need for structural inclusion of communities most affected by cannabis prohibition.
