DCC releases list of equity cannabis storefront retailers in key counties across California; provides helpful tips to consumers
California – Today, on 4/20 — a day often celebrated by cannabis consumers — the Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) is providing tips for consumers to support equity in the cannabis industry by releasing a list of storefront social equity cannabis retail operators.
“Through their innovation and resilience, social equity cannabis entrepreneurs have played a critical role in setting the groundwork for the industry,” said Rasha Salama, Chief Deputy Director of DCC. “Today their voices and contributions continue to shape the future of a safe, well-regulated, legal market that benefits all Californians.”
Prior to legalization efforts, cannabis prohibition had a devastating impact on Californians and people across the country. The long-term consequences of cannabis criminalization continue to impact people convicted of a cannabis offense, their families, and the communities in which they live. Cannabis business owners harmed by criminalization can face challenges in entering the market, including getting access to capital, keeping up with regulatory requirements, and finding locations where cannabis businesses can operate.
The DCC is committed to supporting California cannabis equity operators by lifting their success stories, working with local jurisdictions to document and share promising equity practices, providing technical assistance to applicants and licensees, and offering financial relief in the form of grants and fee waivers.
Consumers can also play a role in supporting cannabis equity businesses by:
- Shopping at equity cannabis stores
- Asking retailers how they support equity businesses or requesting equity brands
- Encouraging lawmakers to promote policies that support cannabis equity businesses
- Donating to organizations assisting cannabis equity
The following is a list of cannabis equity storefront retailers throughout the state, listed by county. DCC is working on creating a webpage that will list all cannabis equity licensees, including the retail operators below.
