Repairing the harms, Creating the future:

Cannabis Corporate Social Responsibility

Engaging the Industry's Mandate with Equity

In a continued commitment toward equity and the resounding consequences of disparate incarceration, the Social Impact Center takes another look at Los Angeles City Department of Cannabis Regulation’s mandate regarding Corporate Social Responsibility.
