2// NYS’s newly legal recreational cannabis industry is expected to generate $350 million in tax revenue annually and create 30,000 to 60,000 jobs!!
+ New York is one of the first states to directly connect cannabis law to economic and racial equity
3// 40% of the industry’s tax revenue will go towards minority communities & the state will expunge records for thousands of NYers with marijuana-related convictions
4// In 2020 people of color represented 94% of cannabis arrests in NYC- this passage is a great step forward towards justice and removing unnecessary stigmas in our country
5// So happy to be a New Yorker, today more than ever, as we set the correct framework for other states moving forward
6// New Yorkers smoke more weed than any other city in the US and we’re excited to help brands grow!!
