Cannabis selling has very serious potential and the market is on a boom in countries like Canada where the sale is legal. Certain giants like Canopy Growth are making the most out of it. The market study reveals that the sale of legal weed in Canada reaped as much as 1.6 billion dollars in 2018. The most potential clients have been recognized to be men and women between 45-64. That said, the amount of profit being earned is benefiting white Canadians only. It still remains unavailable and unshared with black people in Canada. So, if you want to learn how to avoid the “whiteness” of smoking marijuana you must keep the following considerations in mind.

1. Create Awareness

Racial profiling has been worming society for a very long time. Thus, it’s necessary to create awareness that the issue is a certain offense. Astounding surveys prove than the cannabis employment sector that has a market of more than 16 billion dollars employee less than 3% of the black population. What needs to be done instead, like it has been done in California is;

  • Give the first rights to people with low income.
  • Give the first rights to individuals who have, in the past, been arrested for selling marijuana. Since criminal charges end up reducing the employment range, these people have suffered monetarily the most. And most of these people are black.

2. Understand the Gravity Of The Situation

Racial inequity exists everywhere. It ends up creating a huge difference in the earnings of people of color. Also, black people are the most likely targets. Studies show that even white men and women sell and buy cannabis as much as black people do. But, the arrests have been very unproportionate. Now that cannabis has been legalized, the trend of racial discrimination is reducing money-making opportunities for black people. The state should thus acknowledge the problem and set out clear rules about employing more and more black people in the cannabis market.

Moving on, there’s a certain kind of stigma that’s attached to being black and selling weed. This is though just a matter of awareness. White people are as likely to be involved in the business of selling and smoking pots as much as black people do. It’s just that they’re less likely to be arrested. Now that weed has been made legal, the benefit is still ending up in the pockets of the white population. The trend needs to change. And the change can actually begin from the amendment in state rules about job opportunities and employment creation.
