Legal marijuana must bring true equity

Passing legislation was just the beginning. Now, the hard work commences for the appointees to the Office of Cannabis Management. OCM Chair Tremaine Wright, Executive Director Chris Alexander and Board Members Adam Perry, Jen Metzger, Reuben R. McDaniel III and Jessica Garcia have all distinguished themselves with demonstrated commitments to legalization anchored in justice, equity and sustainability. Carefully selected, these appointees are already honoring our intentions with fair, inclusive and just regulations. They’ve already begun laying the foundation for the industry’s governance with swift decisions around home grow, expanded access to the state’s medical program and detailed guidelines for hemp processing, manufacturing, laboratory testing and packaging.
