| | | | Legal, regal and economically feasible? Welcome to Thursday, Baltimore. You made it! And the weekend's almost here! When that hits, at least some of you may be celebrating the state's voters electing to legalize recreational cannabis on Tuesday (and if you're not, that's cool, this still impacts you). The vote to legalize at the state level puts Maryland right at the front of a wave of states that have already made the move after opening up medicinal markets. We know this impacts tech, as we've covered not only interesting cannabis-relevant startups but the tech these companies produce to better serve consumers, as well. With legalization on the way amid ongoing federal prohibition and policing of cannabis use, we're curious how the intersections of tech and cannabis in Baltimore — a city that, it must be said, primarily consists of African Americans that are empirically more likely to get arrested for possession or distribution than their peers of other races — will play out. What do you predict? Will recreational legalization make it easier for cannabis companies to flourish? Can this drive tech innovation that trickles down to workforce development? Can either of these things make up for the disproportionate harm that criminalization has wrought on Black communities?
