Local cannabis activist praises new city policy
High Time for Equity
Sir Smoke-a-Lot: “Thank you, Todd G., for helping to put the ‘we’ back in ‘weed.’ Thanks to this program, we are one step closer to a world in which, in the immortal words of Bob Dylan, everybody must get stoned.”
Last week, San Diego formally instituted its cannabis equity program, aimed at aiding people of color with previous drug convictions to enter the legal cannabis industry. The program will facilitate loans, help provide startup funding, and remove bureaucratic red tape in an effort to atone for the fact that people of color in San Diego have suffered a disproportionate share of cannabis arrests, while whites own a disproportionate share of cannabis enterprises.
“It’s not like white folks haven’t been getting high just as much as black folks,” argued longtime cannabis activist Sir Smoke-a-Lot, who shared his feelings during a Zoom call with Mayor Todd Gloria. “Anyone who says otherwise is just blowing smoke, if you know what I mean. Now, at last, black people will be able to sell weed and get high without having to get all paranoid about whitey crashing through the door and harshing the mellow. Unless...wait a minute. Is this just another plan to keep the black man down, but with taxes and fees and shit instead of cops and cuffs? Dammit, I knew it!”
