Famous Cannabis Entrepreneurs Care About Money AND Social Justice

Shawn Jay-Z Carter and Dwayne Carter Jr., better known as Lil Wayne, recently launched social justice programs that are setting the stage for responsible entrepreneurship. Through this social justice campaign, MONOGRAM aims to magnify the hypocrisy of existing cannabis legislation, which for nearly 45 years have unduly targeted and punished communities of colors. The company has funded a $10 million social equity ventures program that will provide Black and other minority entrepreneurs equal opportunity for participation in the legal cannabis industry. Lil Wayne Shares the Love and Money with Cannabis Reform NonprofitLike Jay-Z, Lil Wayne launched his cannabis company, GKUA Ultra Premium, in 2019, which offers a line of high-potency marijuana products but also contributes to social justice reforms. Now one can only hope that these remarkable initiatives will inspire other cannabis entrepreneurs (including white entrepreneurs) to join and participate in these social justice and cannabis reform efforts.
