Are black biz owners missing from the Maryland medical marijuana industry?
Maryland set
up its legal medical marijuana industry with hopes of racial diversity
and equity in spreading profits, but none of the 15 companies that were
cleared last week for potentially lucrative growing licenses is led by
African Americans. Some lawmakers and prospective minority-owned
businesses say this is unacceptable in a state where nearly a third of
the population is black, the most of any state with a comprehensive
legal pot industry.
