Race, Social Equity, and the Cannabis Industry

Perkins Coie Partner Barak Cohen is joined by Natalie Papillion, a drug policy expert and organizer who serves as the executive director of The Equity Organization and sits on the Board of Directors for the Last Prisoner Project. Natalie and Barak discuss the disparate impact that the war on drugs has had on marginalized communities, particularly communities of color, and how the cannabis industry can help address this through social equity legislation.
