"The cannabis industry, designed in part to help communities upended by the war on drugs, is being threatened by theft, racism and a market that is stacked against small operators."

That's the puzzling subheadline for "Oakland Cannabis Sellers, Once Full of Hope, Face a Harsh Reality" (NYT). The "industry" was somehow "designed... to help communities"? And then — who could have imagined? — it didn't turn out to be so helpful.

I haven't read the article yet, but I really wonder who produced this "design" and whether anyone really believed it would "help communities upended by the war on drugs." If there's systemic racism, why would the new design avoid racism?

Okay, now I have read it. Here's my excerpt, cutting all the personal stories and homing in on the stark and utterly predictable problems — robbery, banking, insurance, and taxes:

Applicants who live in areas that had a high number of drug-related arrests or who have a cannabis-related arrest record are given priority to receive [equity licenses to run cannabis businesses after California legalized the substance for recreational use in 2016]....
Forced to deal largely in cash, the businesses can be a tantalizing target for thieves.... During a wave of robberies late last year, the police never showed up to some of the crimes, business owners say....

Only a limited number of insurance companies are willing to cover the cannabis industry... because of the federal prohibition, and the few insurers operating in the sector are still trying to understand the “unique risk” that the businesses pose....

The robberies and property damage are compounding the cannabis industry’s other challenges, such as high taxes.

“Why would I want to transition to the legal market if I know I am going to go broke?” said Chaney Turner, a member of the city’s Cannabis Regulatory Commission.

Now, is this a problem of racism? People of color are receiving these "equity licenses" that give them a privilege to do business, but it's a business plagued with obvious problems. 

The people doing the business are stuck wondering whether a white person would have as much trouble getting the police and the insuance companies to help them deal with the predictable problem of robbery. 

If the person who gets the "equity license" used to sell marijuana illegally, the tax burden on a legal business might feel distinctly annoying.

But really, the state legalized cannibis for the benefit of the state — that's the assumption that everyone should begin with, especially anyone who's well versed in the theories of systemic racism. The capacity to flaunt "helping" the "community" was — like taxes — one of the benefits the state took for itself.
