It’s “critical to the health of the industry,” as he describes it. He explains data shows that, while Black and white people consume cannabis at just about the same rate, Black communities are policed at a higher rate and are disproportionately represented in marijuana-related arrests. People with marijuana convictions, under Pennsylvania state regulations, can’t work in the industry. Wilson is the Chief Financial Officer of Maitri Medicinals, one of four medical marijuana dispensaries that qualified patients can shop from in the city of Pittsburgh, with a location in East Liberty and one in Uniontown, in Fayette County.
