The Office of Minority, Disabled Veterans, and Women Business Development was established by the CREAMM Act to promote and facilitate a diverse cannabis market in New Jersey. The Office is charged with outreach to underserved populations with information about the Cannabis Regulatory Commission and its programs. Those populations include individuals with conditions that may benefit from medicinal cannabis treatment, and entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs from socially and economically disadvantaged communities, and in communities disproportionately harmed by the War on Drugs.
For entrepreneurs, we are here to inform, connect social equity license applicants and social equity businesses to available resources, and provide practical assistance to lower the barriers to entry into the recreational and medicinal cannabis industry.
