I had the pleasure of sitting down with three HEAVY hitters in the New York Cannabis industry to discuss the economics of social equity and the CAURD program (Conditional Adult-Use Retail Dispensary”. Once you listen to this podcast, I believe you will come to realize that there’s nothing equitable about “social equity” in New York State. This was a very important , controversial, and hard-truth’d discussion that I think all cannabis-industry folks must listen to.
