Chambers: Cannabis education following ‘War on Drugs’ fallout
Staff Reports | Digital Free Press
Established Arizona cannabis entrepreneur Shansan “Chance” Chambers is launching the 501(c)3 nonprofit organization: the Arizona Black Cannabis Trade Association.
The Phoenix-based nonprofit provides cannabis education, empowerment and equity, according to a press release.
The nonprofit’s educational resources encompass an eight-course program beginning with “Cannabis History 101” and concluding with “How to Invest in the Cannabis Industry,” the release states.
The Arizona Department of Health Services recently announced the winners of the coveted 26 social equity licenses. With predatory practices reported and ongoing criticism of the social equity program rules, Mr. Chambers designed the ABCTA to help level the playing field, he says.
“It all starts with one person who wants to make a difference,” Mr. Chambers said in a press release. “I have made the conscious effort in any business venture I dive into, to always make sure I am positively impacting the community and do all I can to assist people in need.”
Mr. Chambers says he was inspired to join the industry after alternative medicine helped his grandmother during her cancer chemotherapy treatments.
Mr. Chambers has seven years of experience in the cannabis industry and owns two companies aside from ABCTA, 420 Ultimate Tours is one of the first Arizona cannabis tourism experiences, and Mwisho Blunts is a tobacco free blunt line, the release states.
