City of Santa Monica - Cannabis Equity Assessment Survey

This survey is being conducted by SCI Consulting Group in partnership with the City of Santa Monica. The purpose of this survey is to gain insights into the ways that cannabis policies have historically impacted the City and to gather ideas about how to develop and implement the City's cannabis equity program to best support Santa Monica residents. Cannabis social equity programs aim to address the disproportionate impact of past cannabis criminalization on marginalized communities, particularly communities of color. These programs focus on providing opportunities for those who have been negatively affected by cannabis prohibition to participate in the legal cannabis industry. As part of the broader adult-use cannabis policy, social equity programs ensure that the benefits of legalization—such as business opportunities, jobs, and economic growth—are accessible to all members of the community. Santa Monica’s cannabis equity program seeks to reduce barriers and create pathways to success for individuals and communities historically disadvantaged by these policies.
