Long Beach, CA lowers barriers to entry in cannabis retail with Cannabis Social Equity Program

Long Beach, CA Cannabis Social Equity Program

In Progress

The city developed the program to expand legal cannabis opportunities for residents with little capital. Program participants receive waived application fees, expedited reviews, and tax deferrals on cannabis sales. City staffers also provide technical assistance with application and business plans for new entrants to the industry. Long Beach is considering additional measures like shared retail spaces and delivery-only licensing to encourage participation.
