About Our Company
Cannabis Equity Employment is a job database that provides a pathway to employment in the cannabis field and beyond for individuals with past cannabis convictions.For decades the war on drugs has caused substantial harm, disproportionately affecting Black, Indigenous, and People of Color and people from other marginalized communities, reinforcing societal inequality, and contributing to a vicious cycle of criminalization and mass incarceration. Cannabis legalization is a great first step, but does not go far enough to undo the damage done by the decades of prohibition and the racist and unjust enforcement of drug policy. While corporations are making great profits selling cannabis, there are still far too many people who have limited employment opportunities or who are still in jail because they were criminalized for doing the same.

The NJ Cannabis Regulatory Commission has recommended giving hiring preferences to applicants who have past marijuana convictions as part of the restorative justice component of the new cannabis law. We are providing an easy pathway for employers to find knowledgeable and experienced candidates who have been negatively impacted, and still are, by the now defunct cannabis prohibition laws in many states. You’ll not only be benefiting your business, but you’ll be helping to set the standard for a more equitable cannabis industry.
