The legalization of Recreational Marijuana in california is setting the stage for the birth of a new industry. It is an economic influx that could be a big boost for the city of oakland. But now, there are fears that the city has been falling behind as it tackles how to make sure communties of color dont get left behind during the green rush. Kron4s Maureen Kelly takes an in depth look at this issue. 2 19 we have to consider all of our options we dont want to move, its not easily to uproot, its not like a threat or anything dark heart nursery grows marijuana starter plants. Theyve been doing brisk business in east oakland since 2007. And they want to stay here. But are worried they might not be able to. We dont have a permit, we need a permit its going to be vital to get the permit in california, like many cannabis related business dark heart nursery has a business liscense and pays taxes to the city but under new state regulations theyre also going to need a cannabis operating permit issued by oakland by 2018 and that permitting process stalled before it even really got started. The issue that has the permit process clogged up at city hall is how to make the cannabis industry equitable for those communities of color that some would say were unfairly targeted during the war on drugs. The city council recently scraped a plan to set aside half of the citys operating permits for those convicted of marijuana related offenses or those who have lived 2 years within certain east Oakland Police beats with high number of marijuana arrests.

Money that goes into the general fund and is funneled to things like police and fire services, libraries and parks. That number is expected to keep going up now that prop 64 has passed. Unless other marijuana friednly municipalities lure pot businesses and investors elsewhere. We are making amends, i guess the word would be for the travesty that happened for the war on drugs orver the past 40 50 years and how its affected people of color Ebele Ifedigbo is the co founder of the hood incubator, a non profit which is working to increase participation of the black and brown communities in the cannabis industry. While she admits the city may miss on some economic opportunites with all of the debate and delay. She says its worth it. 11 06 yes the conversation has gone on for 8, 9, 10 months now but this is stuff thats going to set the tone for generations over generations so if it takes a little while to get things right thats ok bite dont get me wrong we need to get this right, race and equity is not an solve it would be a shame that even the equity doesnt happen because the industry as moved on the city council is set next month on a new equity plan that offers help to the disenfranchised in other ways loan funding, tax breaks and support for their burgeoning business.
