"We(ed) the People has been accepted for publication!

Thank you to the University of Massachusetts School of Law

I’m pleased to announce that my paper has been accepted for publication by the University of Massachusetts Law Review. The paper, a draft of which can be found on SSRN here, will be split into two different articles:

We(ed) the People of Cannabis, in Order to Form a More Equitable Industry: A Theory for Imagining New Social Equity Approaches to Cannabis Regulation, 19 U. MASS. L. REV. __ (forthcoming 2024) (applying a multi-disciplinary integration of legal, historical, and public administration arguments to show that a broader form of cannabis legalization is a necessary prerequisite for social equity).

We(ed) Hold These Truths to be Self Evident: All Things Cannabis Are Inequitable, 19 U. MASS. L. REV. __ (forthcoming 2023) (diagnosing why current approaches to social equity in the cannabis industry continue to fail to promote racial equity while simultaneously exacerbating gender, environmental, and other inequities).

I’m very excited to work with the excellent team at the University of Massachusetts School of Law. I’ll send more updates as the articles come together!
