Multi-state operator Green Thumb Industries, the Greater New Haven Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and national cannabis law firm Vicente Sederberg have partnered to support Connecticut social equity cannabis license applications. The organizations will host a free five-day webinar series for Connecticut residents interested in social equity opportunities for the upcoming recreational market.
