New York State Is About To Legalize Recreational Marijuana: Will Communities of Color Be Left Out?

After years of marijuana laws being used to oppress poor urban communities of color, the legalization of marijuana is now poised to make a lot of people money, but very few of those people will come from the communities who were affected by it. For years New York and...

Under one in five cannabis businesses nationwide are minority-owned, according to a Marijuana Business Daily report. A survey of 567 self-identified senior executives, owners and founders polled by the same site found that about 17% of cannabis executives were minorities. Meanwhile, just 1% of 3,200 to 3,600 U.S. storefront marijuana dispensaries had black owners.

That marijuana has a pleasurable effect both on the making and enjoying of music is hardly a controversial point. No one style of music has a unique claim to cannabis. A wide swath of genres carry a deep cultural connection that’s had a profound impact on the cultures that have developed among artists and fans. The time-stretching psychotropic effects of strong weed has a vital impact not just on the way music is heard, but also how it’s played.

While New York City has limited direct sunlight, it also has light pollution that can disrupt the 12-hour darkness requirement during the cannabis flowering stage. Light deprivation greenhouses can provide the cultivator full control of the lighting schedule and the environmental controls.

@FrescoBK - “A lot of the entertainers don’t disassociate themselves [from] cannabis, and these people are on the highest levels. From Travis Scott to whoever, they embrace it. It’s one of those things… you now see collabs with Christian Dior and Jordan, that would never happen before. You have to teeter those lines. That’s why I see the connection between cannabis and sneakers. You have to blur those lines because they’re so common on all fronts, no matter what race, no matter anything. It’s consumed at high levels and people f-cking enjoy it.”

“The world has finally begun opening up to the cannabis industry the way I feel it should have years ago. Even still, hate exists in this business for black people, and that is something that sickens me and should be recognized for its blatant evil. The people that have been locked up for marijuana should not only be freed but receive restitution for the damage done to them by outdated laws.” - @nas

While government, community, and private social eq

While government, community, and private social equity programs are crucial to creating a fair and accessible cannabis industry, not everyone will be able to secure licensing and funding through these programs. The capital to start dispensaries, growing operations, and extraction businesses is still largely unavailable to marginalized ethnic groups. However, people of color can get involved in the cannabis industry by launching businesses that don’t require huge amounts of investment capital. Let’s take a look at a few options! 🤗

👉Fresco: “My favorite strain ever is Animal C

👉Fresco: “My favorite strain ever is Animal Cookies. Not Girl Scout Cookies. I had Animal Cookies from this dude, man. He used to have labels on his bags and tell you exactly what you’re going to feel from this strain.”

Parker T: “Did you fall for our girl Mary Jane?”

👉Fresco: When I smoked in 2009, I used to smoke sparingly. I’d go months without it. Then…I started to work with this girl [and] we used to come down here to Dumbo to smoke. That’s when I started to get like a high. And just went progressively [down] from there.

Parker T: “How do you get your bud now?”

👉Fresco: [A] sole supplier. I could literally be anywhere and just hit the Bat-Signal. It’s just a smartphone away. He knows his audience and gives exactly what works for you.

Parker T: “What’s most important to you when getting your bud: quality, pricing, service, variety, or consistency?”

👉Fresco: With the climate of marijuana and these strain names and the designer bag pricing…I love the fact that [my guy] remains consistent across the board—with pricing, quality, service, and consistency.

“One huge difference is that back in the day it

“One huge difference is that back in the day it was very taboo to even discuss being in the marijuana business,” he says. “Traveling the world performing music, I have had the opportunity to meet some of the best farmers, enthusiasts and other entrepreneurs and have been very selective with whom I work. Nowadays there is a lot of green-related business ‘opportunities’ thrust my way. Understanding which ones to pass on are just as important as which ones to take.”

There are several factors to take into account whe

There are several factors to take into account when planning a cannabis cultivation site. While the size of the location and accessibility for equipment needed to cultivate are large factors, the most important is the environment. Providing the best possible climate for your plants will guarantee a bountiful harvest. Some of the largest factors that will affect the plants’ growth are light, nutrients, carbon dioxide, water, and temperature. These elements are essential for plant photosynthesis. If one of the elements is insufficient or off-balance, the plants’ growth rate, and ultimately the final product, will suffer. (Bugbee, 2020)

Cannabis needs high levels of light for peak performance. The plants use light from 350-750 nanometers on the light spectrum. This includes the UV and Far Red wavelengths. To optimize growth, it is recommended that plants receive 500-1000 micromoles of photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) per meter squared, but can receive 1500 plus if all other parameters are dialed in. (Bugbee, 2020)

Airflow is essential to the health of the plants; once the plant reaches its vegetative state, a slight breeze from a fan should be gently moving the plants, simulating the wind blowing. This will help strengthen its stocks and prevent any powdery mildew from growing. If the humidity levels are too high and airflow is poor, problems will arise sooner than later.

Fresco is back and opened up about his sneaker obsession and his girlfriend Mary Jane. We had the opportunity to meet Fresco and hear what he had to say about the subject! 💨

“Do you think there’s a connection between weed and sneaker culture?”

👉Fresco: Yes, they’re both universal. They’ve been consumed at a high level for years, but now both are very mainstream. A lot of the entertainers don’t disassociate themselves [from] weed, and these people are on the highest levels. From Travis Scott to whoever, they embrace it. It’s one of those things… you now see collabs with Christian Dior and Jordan, that would never happen before. You have to teeter those lines. That’s why I see the connection between weed and sneakers. You have to blur those lines because they’re so common on all fronts, no matter what race, no matter anything. It’s consumed at high levels and people f-cking enjoy it.

Interesting, isn’t it? 🤔 Stick around to hear what else Fresco had to say about his relationship with sneakers and marijuana 🍃

As cannabis legalization sweeps across the country

As cannabis legalization sweeps across the country, the opportunity for accessing cannabis grows—but only for those who can afford it. The in-depth regulation processes throughout the product cycle increase the price tag at every stage. Ultimately, the consumer takes on the extra expenses when purchasing cannabis products from licensed dispensaries. This inflated cost structure creates a lopsided benefit to the community—with the most significant benefit to those who can afford the extravagant prices. This imbalanced system needs to be addressed so all who may benefit from cannabis will access it. An organized structure created to address unfair systems is not a new idea.

Cooperatives (co-ops) were formed for that very reason. Co-ops have been around since the early 1800s: when the industrial revolution started to pick up steam. People clamored into cities, changing the entire food chain from farm-to-table to store-bought goods. This created an unbeneficial system to store patrons, as they had no control over the quality of the food they purchased or each item’s price 💵

Even today, co-ops are thriving all over the world: allowing community members to not only have a say in the pricing and quality of the goods required for their livelihoods, but they also can have a hand in providing goods to others within their communities.

Imagine a world where cannabis was “a good” within a co-op 😌It could be grown in community gardens, tended by community members, and sold at a reasonable price. Patrons would know precisely what was used to grow the plants, where they were cultivated, and who the cultivators were. This is the future of cannabis—a plant historically known to be community-oriented, grown within a community.

🥦 Cannabis is a hearty plant that can grow in many areas and will adapt over time to its environment. Landrace strains are ones that have become almost perfectly adapted to their growing environment. Jamaica’s optimal conditions for growing cannabis (50 percent humidity, equal parts day and night, fertile soil, mountain breezes) have created some of the best landrace strains in the world. 🇯🇲

Malawi is an African country that's famed for its cannabis — Malawi Gold.

Malawi Gold is an ultra-Sativa landrace filled with spicy flavors and an electric high that lasts for hours. If you're an adrenaline junky, then Mawali Gold will satisfy your needs after a single hit.

Many of the old school heads in the NYC cannabis community remember the good old days of Malawi Gold. However, many of those in the new generation have never experienced it. Sadly, Malawi Gold is disappearing due to hybridization, and it's difficult to find this beauty of a strain among NYC's vibrant cannabis community.

If you want to get your hands on a piece of Malawi Gold, it's best to look for Gold Star, SuperNova, or Malberry at a marijuana dispensary.
