A Black cannabis entrepreneur named Jason Teal is combating the state of Connecticut because of its weed license price tag. The price tag is $3 million dollars which was set by the state cannabis board. Mr. Teal doesn't have a problem paying the 3 mil, his problem is why should he have to. He lives in area that was designated a social equity impact zone. $3 million ‘price tag’ for social equity applicants criticized; CT retail sales of cannabis expected by 2023.
Berner is enjoying huge success nationally with his Cookies brand. To have a weed shop in lower Manhattan is a huge move. Berner is highly respected in the cannabis industry mainly because of strains like Gelato & Girl Scout Cookies. He also has a huge following as a rapper where other rappers like Styles P & Wiz Khalifa have been co-signing his ability to grow great weed at a high quality. The flipside of this is that Berner had a huge advantage over other rappers because he's been growing for decades. He started in Arizona & then went out to California. He did it the right way as far as business. He leveraged Black culture (Hip-Hop) to fund his pet project & it has paid off. We can't catch a break in this industry but Berner seems to have the secret sauce.
Berner and CookiesSF representatives opened their latest store, this one in the heart of Manhattan's Herald Square shopping district, on October 30. The store currently stocks clothing and CBD/hemp products, but none with THC.

So, there's a vehicle traveling down the train tracks, and there are 5 people that are tied up on the train tracks, but there is a fat man at the top of the bridge with you that you can push down to prevent the vehicle from killing all 5 of the tied up people at the bottom, do you push the fat man to save the 5 people, or do you let the vehicle run over the five people while sparing the fat man at the top of the bridge?
This is a thought experiment on ethics, on if sacrificing a person for a larger number of people is considered ethical by others.
If the countless messages weren’t clear before, #ElonMusk’s decision to let #AmeriKKKan racists rampage freely on his newly acquired platform, should move BLACK Americans to finally get off the #IntegrationPlantation
The brotha I got this pic from his social media had a comment by a white friend of his, I've copied and pasted his exact words " I always find people like this funny because they’re clueless. Because I’m an older white guy in the construction industry, people always assume I’m a Republican. If I taped the conversations I have with Republican contractors, they’d be flabbergasted at how often the “N” word is dropped and the things they routinely say about other races. They’re like chickens voting for Colonel Sanders." and he also said " like I said, they’d shit themselves if the heard the stuff people say to me because their guard is down. It’s one of the reasons I stopped using a plumber I used for 25 years. Huge racist / Trump guys. They’d literally say stuff like They’d do to blacks what Hitler did to Jews. The guys in this pic may think they’re “in the club”, but do they really think Trump would even shake their hand?"
Here is one idea that can be used to help in getting monies for Black people specifically.
Our own lotto. One idea, fight to have a federal lotto. Where its open to all states and territories and the proceeds to specifically to a black megafund. That fund can only be used for a specific purpose. We can determine that...maybe HBCU funding, whatever.
Or we have our own independent one that we can legally have like the Indians. With today's technology it can be done with multiple states. Set up agreements and again, the proceeds go specific to something we want. Run by us.
I'm NOT saying this is reparations or a solution to it, not all. I know some of y'all will jump to that conclusion immediately. Just something black people can have for us, by us. It can be included in the reparations fight (after cash settlements) or now or whenever but have the right to have a lotto. A lot of non black people will buy it if the pot is right. People don't trip on where money is going to if they can win some.
I know Black Americans look a bit different from Africans, but like no one ever actually makes it clear how Black Americans are supposed to look in the first place. When people say this I assume they mean that Black Americans are lightskinned? in which they're just entirely denouncing millions of people of their Black American heritage, including me. Most Black Americans aren't lightskin, but are either brownskinned or darkskinned, so I don't get it.
