Скачать или смотреть High Hopes, Hard Truths Illinois Equity Lawsuit

Illinois promised equity when it legalized cannabis in 2019. But years later, the reality looks very different.

In this episode of CashColorCannabis, host Mehka King speaks with Corey Oursey, co-founder of Piff Patch Cannabis Transportation, and attorney Amber Lengacher, who is leading a civil rights lawsuit against the state. They break down how delays, restrictions, and broken promises in Illinois’ cannabis transport licensing left most minority-owned businesses unable to survive—leaving only two transport companies active today.

From the human cost to the bigger policy questions, this conversation digs into the high hopes and hard truths of cannabis equity in Illinois—and what this case could mean for the future of legalization across the country.
