David Welch: 90% of California Cannabis Sales Remain Illegal Despite Prop 64

California's cannabis legalization was marketed as a pathway to entrepreneurship for Black individuals, yet many have faced systemic barriers and financial ruin. High taxes, steep licensing fees, and limited access to capital have disproportionately affected Black entrepreneurs, leading to business closures and financial distress. Despite legalization, the black market thrives, offering lower-priced products that often originate from the same growers, undermining licensed businesses. This situation reflects a broader pattern where marginalized communities are enticed into ventures without adequate support, resulting in exploitation and economic hardship. The government's promises of equity and opportunity have often been unfulfilled, leaving many to question the true intentions behind cannabis legalization policies.
