Op-ed: New York promised cannabis equity. The Bronx is delivering it.
by https://www.facebook.com/* on February 4, 2026
When New York legalized cannabis in 2021, lawmakers made a promise unlike any other in the country: the people most harmed by past marijuana criminalization would have the first chance to benefit from the new legal market.

But there is one clear success story that, if taken seriously by State leaders, offers a model for how to deliver on this equity promise with minimal investment.That model is The Bronx Cannabis Hub.
