SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego County Supervisors Nathan Fletcher and Nora Vargas revealed a set of new policies Monday they have drafted to improve economic access and social equity in the cannabis industry intended to expand farming, manufacturing and retail opportunities and create jobs in the unincorporated areas of the county.
"We know that many communities have been devastated by the War on Drugs and disproportionately impacted by the criminal justice system. We seek to undo these past wrongs by centering social justice at the core of our cannabis approach," Fletcher said.
