NJ Cannabis Town Hall To Discuss Social Equity In Industry

WEST ORANGE, NJ — Two marijuana entrepreneurs from Essex County who hope to land one of New Jersey’s coveted recreational dispensary licenses will be among the hosts of a virtual “Cannabis Town Hall” on Thursday, March 31.

The virtual event will take place from 6:30 to 8 p.m., and will discuss social equity in the cannabis industry.

Organizers include Corey Dishmen and Charles Penn, the entrepreneurs behind The Library, which is trying to capture a license to run a retail dispensary in West Orange.

Dishmen and Penn recently helped to launch a group dubbed March for Equity, with the mission of “bringing awareness about the need for true social equity for black and brown communities.”

March for Equity plans to hold a series of town halls in the future.
