Oakland cannabis is LEGENDARY.
About
Oakland Cannabis is Legendary
We are undeniably the global epicenter of the legal cannabis industry. Our advocates spearheaded the world’s first medical cannabis legalization laws. Our cannabis business owners pioneered the modern above-ground marketplace, and the City of Oakland was the first government to license and regulate these businesses and the first to create a social equity program. Today’s Oakland equity operators continue this legacy and culture of pioneering quality cannabis and social change.
The Oakland Legendary Cannabis Awareness Campaign is sponsored by the City of Oakland and produced by Oaksterdam University in collaboration with the Equity Trade Network to celebrate this legendary legacy and help you find and support Oakland’s social equity cannabis business operators.
