- Cannabis education amongst the Community boards, Other professional entities with int he lloacl community, local law enforcement agnecies and community members of all levels must be educated about the new wave of cannabis entrepuners and the businesses that are being welcomed into our commnities. for years our communites have been subjected to prejudice and poor treatment because of their love, use or connection with cannabis, therefore resulting in a negative stigma that leads to discrimination based off their personal beliefs. our communities deserve educational workshops and training resources that show them a way to break into this billion dollar industry from cultivation to advocacy. Coney Island is a low income community whom most of the black and brown residents have been negatively impacted by the justices of possesing cannabis although it had been decriminalized since 1977.
