Show Notes
Is New York State doing social equity entrepreneurs a favor by putting them first in line for cannabis business licenses that will cost them millions to launch? It's clear from the recent news that CAURD license holders signed a public letter claiming their extreme concern about the state's fumbled role out of the social equity program.
Meet Dezo El, born and raised in the projects in Brownsville, Brooklyn, a legacy grower, cannabis activist, and someone who has served time because of it. Dezo wants to participate legally in the industry and benefit from the plant that unjustly jailed many in his community, but, he realized the high financial risk it would be if he tried to open a dispensary or cultivation facility. He decided to take things into his own hands to enter the legal market without NYS's help and the exhorbitant cost to participate.
He obtained a hemp nursery license and opened a storefront in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and hopes to enter the recreational market once he builds his brand, BMilk Grow Supplies. He gives classes twice a week on how to grow cannabis at home and sells all the supplies you need to get started.
He aims to provide the tools to people who can benefit from cannabis but can't afford it by educating them on how to grow it.
