Why you should join
As an organization, we are keenly aware of the injustice of the war on drugs
– which for so many years has been used to incarcerate black and latinx people on a massive scale.
We are always trying to do our part to support these communities, whether it’s through the promotion of social equity brands or funding underrepresented cannabis business founders through our accelerator program.
We strive to be an equal opportunity employer and enthusiastically encourage people from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences to apply.
