State officials have awarded the City of Sacramento $2.5 million to support equity efforts in the local cannabis industry.

The funding comes from the Cannabis Equity Grants Program for Local Jurisdictions, administered by the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (Go-Biz).

The City previously received this funding, which has helped support participants in the City’s Cannabis Opportunity Reinvestment and Equity (CORE) program.

"This grant expands the support available to CORE participants as they navigate the cannabis industry and build sustainable businesses,” said Al Romero-Gibu, who leads the City’s Office of Cannabis Management.

So, Kalifornia creates the Cannabis Regulatory Leviathan. Then, Kalifornia creates more bureaucracy to "navigate" Cannabis Regulatory Leviathan.

I suppose I would be remiss if I did not include this:

Keep the people stoned and they’ll never question the political class.

The City also continues to expand its local cannabis regulatory framework. In 2024, the City Council approved a pilot program for social consumption and the City is developing regulations for cannabis consumption lounges.

"social consumption" and "cannabis consumption lounges"

What could possibly go wrong?

Meet up at your favorite "Cannabis Consumption Lounge," have a few (or more) Cannabis cookies and brownies. Then, get back in your car and float down the highway!

Just another money laundering scheme for some connected friends and/or family members. How many millions of deadbeats are on these govt/ngo scams?

[Antoninus]

So they are subsidizing these operations and are seeking to make it more “equitable” so that they can be set up in bad neighborhoods. Is that what’s going on here?

Only in a leftist run state do the drug dealers need government gifts of taxpayer money to stay in business.

How in the world did the Chinese gangs in San Francisco build their opium "consumption lounges" (aka, "dens") without government support? It's a mystery.

And bureaucrats wonder why the Chinese are making fortunes running non-revenued farms.
