Lantern has launched the New York Cannabis Project, a multi-faceted social equity incubator program. The program provides resources, training and education to entrepreneurs entering the cannabis industry in newly legal markets. The New York Cannabis Project has already worked with Bronx community organizations to support The Bronx Cannabis Hub.
“For far too long, the criminalization of cannabis and the War on Drugs has ravaged Black and Brown communities throughout New York. Lantern’s newest social equity incubator will provide opportunities to those disproportionately impacted by the War on Drugs who are looking to enter the regulated cannabis industry and build pathways to business ownership and generational wealth,” stated Akele Parnell, Head of Equity Partnerships at Lantern. “The New York Cannabis Project builds upon the efforts of our four previous social equity programs. Lantern remains committed to generating opportunities for communities disproportionately impacted by the criminalization of cannabis and the company is excited about the opportunity to help advance social equity in New York.”
