Activists sue over social equity marijuana licenses, alleging the licenses are going to big cannabis companies
Lawsuit alleges that big marijuana companies are acquiring Arizona’s social equity pot licenses
A lawsuit was filed to make sure those lucrative licenses get into the hands of the people disproportionately effected by marijuana laws, and keep them out of the hands of big cannabis corporations.
Currently, More than 1,500 people applied for a social equity license, which is part of the voter-approved Proposition 207, and 26 such licenses are set to be awarded by the state soon.
