One of the directions I’m gong with this is that we are looking at a much more serious social problem to address than normalizing cannabis. How do we end racism? How do we reverse decades of class warfare? Any possible answer has to start in one’s home, in one’s neighborhood, in one’s jurisdiction, but to date we have not just zero but counterproductive approaches built in to structural normality baked in to our national culture.

These problems are much, much bigger than cannabis, so starting with absolute humility with respect to what it is we can achieve in the short- and medium-runs. How do we get started is a great question, but there’s a massive amount of cultural work to do that has yet to be accepted, or acceptable, in our society. How do we know what the conditions are for our choosing is the pre-question.

How do we get started!?!? I am in. One of my personal reasons for being in this industry is to address the discrepancies of social economic status and skin color. It’s an issue that has always baffled me. So what’s the next step? What’s our strategy?
