An Act delivering a fair share of cannabis revenue to communities harmed by the war on drugs
This bill directs 50% of Massachusetts' cannabis tax revenue to a Community Reinvestment Fund. It specifically allocates these funds to communities disproportionately impacted by historical drug enforcement policies, particularly communities of color. The key mechanism is a mandatory revenue share from cannabis taxes, managed through the fund to support local economic development and social services. The bill directly affects eligible communities across Massachusetts that have faced systemic harms from the "war on drugs." This is a revenue allocation measure, not a change to cannabis laws or regulations.
