Thank you for commenting on this. The organized cannabis advocates have consistently left out Native Americans in social equity programs. This is despite data clearly indicating significant harm from the war on drugs. I do not think it is an accident. A good example is the state of Massachusetts. The legislation passed was written by the industry for the industry and to get votes. When individual communities (Cambridge and Boston excellent examples) have the opportunity to correct this, they have aggressive opposition from active proponents of social equity programs. The argument is that the data do not support that there is harm to Native Americans in any manner. While the statement is true, it is not fact. The research always presented only looks at Black and Hispanic. The social equity advocates that oppose inclusion of Native Americans do not offer the research that included Native Americans. And sadly one of the biggest harms in burying this issue is the ongoing trafficking of Native American women onto illegal marijuana grows and little information being distributed about the issue.
