Equity in Weed Business

Hi,

I'm wondering if there's a list somewhere of farms/dispensaries or whatever that are owned by people who were formerly incarcerated for pot? I'm in Chicago, and when Illinois legalized it, they made everything so convoluted that most of the permits when to people with money rather than people who had been penalized.

I've just seen some websites that show dispensaries and prices and sales, etc.... but I'm more interested in supporting people who never should have been in prison in the first place to get theirs.

I don't use much, just when I'm having sleep/pain issues, so I come by my ignorance honestly. Last time I needed, I was only able to find one minority-owned dispensary in Chicago, and that doesn't mean they were part of the demographic I'm interested in.

If it's become too corporatized, just let me know and I'll let it go.

Thank you all!
