Minorities for Medical Marijuana
Dr. Lance McCarthy works as a board advisor for Minorities for Medical Marijuana, Inc. M4MM is a non profit organization with its corporate office based in Orlando Florida. It was established to focus on on providing advocacy, outreach, research, and training as it relates to the business, social reform, public policy, and health /wellness in the cannabis industry. They actively connect people to opportunities in the marijuana industry for minorities. The difficulty in the industry has always been the lack of access to capital, even when one has the skill set and is able to work in the industry. M4MM is backed by many corporate donors as it facilitates progress and change, but disparities in the legal system and other challenges reveal how we need to make more inroads to open doors. Government support happens on the state level, not federal, but many states give extra benefits to those who have a social equity or minority partner in their application. Knowing the playing field and catting through the red tape help reveal opportunities that many do not know exist. That is where M4MM clears the smoke.
