- The U.S. has gone from raging a drug war on marijuana to seeing it as big business. But it’s a business not everyone can get into. So what does it take to start a cannabis company and who gets to do it? Imaeyen Ibanga travels to Illinois to uncover the truth about how Black and white green can be.

The same thing is happening in NJ. My father has been trying to get a license since 2019. We went through a whole pandemic and while big dispensary chain’s have been profiting and perfecting their supply chain, my dad who is “connected”, black, and a veteran, has been holding an empty warehouse for years!! His company was called 93id, which has more presence on the web than the current name, GoodLettuce. Good work covering this topic!
there doing the same thing across the river in Missouri gave them all to out of state companies and vets its all a scam
at 3:25 she says black people were arrested at a higher rate than white people for selling and possessing drugs even tho white people use drugs at the same rate and were more likely to sell it, then at 4:28 she says the industry belongs to black people because they built it by selling and distributing the drugs illegally...lol so she wants the benefits from the victimization of the drug war and the benefits of participating in the same drug war she claims to be the victim of... can't make this shit up!!
@@roldiny yt folks being doing the exact same thing & making millions off our backs for centuries, so what's your point?
@@daisybootz3607 my point is that she claims white people are the ones selling the drugs when the context is negative then when the context is positive all of a sudden it was black people the ones selling the drugs, which one is it? you can't have it all.
Let those in prison for nonviolent weed related crimes out
Not to mention those that have already finished but still stuck with a criminal record
@@hahaLOLhaha72 exactly. That's often overlooked
Another hypocrisy of this country... White America legalized and get rich off it while Black/Brown America still suffers getting locked up and locked out
if some people are still trying to create "generational wealth", others have to be locked up
I did two years in Florida for selling weed back in 2011. Now it's legal smfh
Belicia is so badass. Full-time mother of 2 girls, full-time worker, and she makes time in her schedule to fight for what she wants. I truly wish the best for her and hope she gets everything she deserves.
Imagine seeing weed vendors downtown. Weed in gas stations. F#cking weed bars... but you can't get a possession charge off your record.
#TreKushRenada 🤣 funny but not 😟 funny
Just like the alcohol prohibition era. By the time it was legal again the only people who could afford to be in the business were big corporations like Anheuser-Busch.
Luckily its gonna be pretty hard to prove somebody didnt get their weed from the dispo, a waste of time actually. Only people in trouble anymore are mid level dealers and uo
Think more like Bayer-Monsanto…. They own ALL patents.. on ALL hybrids. They same people who made weed illegal in 1913 to sell their products.
@@oneballwizard406 …. So untrue I’m afraid. If your plant even cross pollinates my corn plants… there’s a 14k fine per acre. And that’s all checked. Welcome to Kansas.
There needs to be WAY WAY more licenses. I say lift the cap and treat it like an alcohol permit. The process needs to be less onerous and cheaper too. I get that there was an attempt to make this fair, but anyone who looked at the details knew way beforehand that perfect scores were going to be necessary to get into the lottery.
Exactly, the whole process is a farce. They came up with that system to "exclude" people on purpose. That one lady in the video who helped form the process is lying. They knew that by making it extremely hard it would prevent average people from getting in. AJ+ should have went at her much harder in that interview.
That’s what I’ve been saying about every state that acts like Illinois and unfortunately my state ConnecticutSeems like it’s following in Illinois footsteps with this lottery they have giving out no licenses just like Illinois
The system always worked against black people
@Hunter yes but not in CT
Lol, as if liquor licenses have no cap and are plentiful?
Kids.
Nice one, you genuinely are trying to show how dire things of the countries and it's citizens. Economically and other aspects. At this time the future doesn't look good. First thing. About solving a problem is to acknowledge it. It's doesn't look like the media wants to do , I hope your channel expand and bring awareness and opportunity to people. ❤️
Thank you so much for watching and giving us your time. We got another story coming out in March and I hope we see you then.
So true
The #1 rule of WS ,is to lie , deny ,cheat and steal, you'll never get any acknowledgement from it!
Funny, I heard the owner of Mission say that they would/have donated to food banks, shelters, lgbtq orgs, etc., but not once did he mention a Black organization 🤔
You go Belicia, you are a force to be reckoned with and I'm glad you're challenging the state on this. There's nothing equitable about what the state is doing. Definitely discriminatory, no question about it.
Belicia!! You advocating for those that'd ont have a voice in this space is phenomenal work!!!
Stop putting people in jail for selling weed This drug actually has medical benefits to people! Criminalizing weed Only helps the gangs profiting from selling weed!
How many black men are still in prison for nonviolent weed related crimes?
And Girls too. Not to mention all those that have completed their time, but are now stuck with criminal records
Islam is the only solution to problem of the mankind

@@mohammedraazi4943 go smoke some weed bro
Far to many weed is a stupid thing to imprison anyone for.
I looked into opening a dispensary last year and it’s HARD as hell. This is coming from a current business owner. I still intend on opening a dispensary, but it will take longer than I hoped.

You want to open satan's shop?
@@endtimes9763 Why do you call it that?
@@mylsbee828 We're all Spirits in a Flesh and if its not the Spirit of the Lord its the Spirit of the Devil. Demons are disembodied spirits that seek residence mostly in humans and if they can't find a human, they'll use an animal .

Jesus said, "Be SOBER be vigilant because your adversary the devil walks this earth like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

When it costs $80 for an eighth at the dispensary, the black market will continue. Prices are ridiculous.
Damn, who got those prices? In LA we can pay as low as 25 for an 8th.
@@hughmongus9969 as low as $12 for an eighth in SW Washington / Portland Oregon area . The good reggae 😭😪
@@hughmongus9969 Chicago was the most expensive weed ive ever bought. Dispensary's anywhere bu the west coast are whack and overpriced.
@@doblevaso3561 wtf… why so cheap? Is it even good?
Love the facts. This was great directed well. Got my attention! Subscribed
So basically you have to put in work for the United States if you wanna sell drugs here, 🤔 this sounds familiar. And if you get caught selling on these blocks without authorization you’ll be punished 😒 that’s sounds familiar 😕
It’s a domino effect and everybody is doing in they own ways. It just look different from the outside
So applicants and recipients cannot know who received a license, but big corporations can? How ironic.
Exactly
Excellent story. A native Chicagoan appreciates this. 🔥
Thank you so much for watching. Please feel free to share.
States are keeping the license fees paid when applications are submitted. So it's just an added revenue stream for States. New York is going through the same process, as far as stringing applicants along for the State to keep their money. Dispensaries that got the few licenses issued have yet to open for business, because the State legislature hasn't produced the regulations for these businesses to abide by yet. It's just another example of government bureaucrats hiding their inaction behind the veil of governmental bureaucracy...smh
One good thing here in NY state is Marijuana is legal for recreational use as of March 31, 2021.
I live in NY and that's why I go to the reservation where it's legal federally and state wise. No taxes and dispensaries everywhere.

Powerful message Belicia Royster! The war on drugs has not ended. It is actually a war on the health and wellness of three targeted groups-Black, Brown & Indigenous People. The right to choose is a Human Rights Imperative. I see you @IndraniPeyton. #TheGAPGyrlz #HumanRights4ALL #SEEN
What a ignorant racist thing to say. The whole human race has been affected by the war on drugs.
You forgot the poor, or really anyone who’s not directly involved in power. They don’t like us but they also don’t like anyone unless you got something to take from. We need to unite black, white and everything in between. Maybe im just saying that cause im mixed (native and white), but this is more than just a race war, this is about good and evil.
I love your energy and the fact that you are so down to earth and you don't try to be so uptight and serious about everything this is a great video keep up the good work.
Hello. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Be on the look out for more from me this year and feel free to share this link. Have a great day.
Why is there even a limit on the number of license issued? The consumers should be the ones to decide who gets our business not the government. Are there a limited number of alcohol licenses that a state can issue?
Same for alcohol unfortunately. At least in this state. I don't know how it works in others
Shid there's liquor stores everywhere in Indiana so I'm guessin theres not a certain amount of licenses issued here.
MONOPOLY!!
The amount of liquor licenses is determined by the city the more they make available the cheaper they are the less the more expensive so some towns don’t have many which makes them scarce and u will have to pay top dollar to buy someone’s license I believe
@@sneakerhead4770 last time i checked in mi they were 1.5 million
OMG Belicia. EXCELLENT JOB!!
I tried to tell black people years ago that legalizing weed would actually be bad for the black community. Now, they're beginning to see it. After watching this, I peeped out your other story with the black liberal mormon. You're gathering interesting stories. Keep it up.
It's the decriminalization for me. Dispensaries are mostly for weed tourists and older people. Most regular cannabis users are still buying from their local weed man because it's cheaper and the same quality.
Black liberal Mormon? Is there such a thing? In Chicago??
@@ckckck1But now, you gotta worry About Fenty in street weed, too.
Im from Chicago but i DO NOT buy weed from the dispensaries because they want $24 a gram or $65 for an eighth. It don’t make no sense! I can get the same bud off the streets for $25 or $30 for an eighth. $160 a oz
People of colour need to be influenced, encouraged and trained on how to become business owners. Look at all those "Liqour Stores" that plague 90%percent of all the corners in every hood in america and you will be lucky to find any of them black owned. Mainly they are owned by immigrants not even born in America let alone that neighbourhood. These stores dont just sell liqour and swishers but serve as grocery stores for those communities. Upsets me that none are owned local.
I wonder why only the immigrants get the liquor stores
@@gemeni3000 that's what I noticed too. Crazy how these immigrants who received so much racism and discrimination often started out with almost nothing, living in the communities black people have been living for decades and still became more succesful. Just goes to show how black america limits itself with that victim mentality.
@@beco5002 you're completely full of shit and ignorant af. Immigrants and refugees who come here with nothing get more help from the US government than black US citizens. They start these businesses with the help of grants and loan programs through the federal government. It is harder for black people to start businesses because there are no programs like these for them, and because of the huge wealth gap created by decades of systemic racism - including things like slavery and redlining.
@@beco5002 has nothin to do with victim mentality but everything to do systematic racism
@@beco5002 are you dumb? Well that’s apparent but clearly you’re uninformed as well. Immigrants don’t pay taxes for the first two years of opening their business on top of that they receive more help from the govt than US citizens! How tf are immigrants going to school for free on my tax dollars?! Make that make sense. The problem is these immigrants think they’ve been dealt the same hand as black people and you’re severely effing wrong. Also immigrants don’t live in black communities….other than new York I don’t know of another place I’ve been to. In the dmv… the immigrants have their businesses in black communities and when they close up and go home they drive across the bridge to Arlington and Alexandria. Take your bs and lies somewhere else.
This is the same thing that happened all along the west coast. I'm disappointed but not suprised.
As Belicia's daughter I would like to say kudos to her with love and appreciation I am so thankful that she is my mom my sister Blayr says the same.
I love the timing of the sirens.
Wow! Britteney is a perfect representation of integrity! Kudos and much love 👏👏👏
Come next door to Missouri where it is 10k to apply for medical MJ business licenses and they don't give you a checklist for what is necessary to be approved until you get denied.
Love your production
Thank you so much for watching and giving us your time. I'd love if you shared this video.
Wow this was awesome. I didn't know weed was legal in Chicago as of 2020. They got loop holes to everything that is crazy how the one lady scored a 243 out of 250 and was still denied because of veteran non status.
Thank you so much for watching and giving us your time. Please share this video and be on the look out for our future digital docs.
I had a buddy who tried opening a dispensary or grow house cant remember which. They found a minority grower in California and didnt get it because he wasnt a veteran
yessss....And that's recreationally. It has been legal since 2013 in IL. Carved out medical sales for the rich to later get grandfathered into Recreational
this is an absolutely wonderful video to speak up on this issue. people like to portray the legalization of weed as the end all be all, but it’s so much more complicated than that unfortunately.
Thank you for watching and giving us your time. I hope you'll come back in a few weeks when our next episode is released.
so upsetting... great reporting!
Thank you so much for watching and giving us your time. I hope you'll return next month when we release our next episode.
It's a business, business is ruthless, and it doesn't care about anything except what will make the most money. A business that big will never give any thought to anything else.
It's a business that black ppl have been quite successful at for a very long time. It's the bureaucracy that made it difficult to get into legal. Check your ignorance
That last scene where the little girl interviewed you made me cry omfg 😭
I'm glad you liked it. There was so much with me and the girls dancing, chatting, playing -- I wanted to include at least a glimpse for you all. Thank you so much for watching and giving us your time.
Everybody should be able to sale let the people decide which store they wanna buy

Hi. I did this story. Thank you so much for watching and be on the look out for more of our stuff.
ILLINOIS Governor Pritzker family owns "Verano"....
This saddens me right now I thought it was public information. We have to do better as a people.
Allow me to be the first to say it, this might hurt a lot of businesses but if the people get together and don't buy weed from the dispensaries the value would go down and they would have no choice but to change the policies
You have to remember they only make money if we buy it..
Once you hear lottery and points system you know how this would be going
I remember the good ole days in my early 20s for many many years of blazing up without a care in the world,bloodshot eyes and always having the munchies. Lol. I'm 35 now and can't smoke bud anymore without feeling like I'm dying and having a heart attack. Everything was good like always until 1 day i went to hit some about 10 years ago and my body changed! I still love the smell of some good killa though but just can't smoke! Don't ever think your body can't change on you in a heartbeat because it can.
Yup and it can change right back. Quit after daily use for a couple years due to paranoia and anxiety and i was going to get tested. I thought i didn’t want to smoke again but after finding the right strains, proper dose and I find concentrates really kill my anxiety.
I haven’t felt this clear in a long time, which is exactly how i felt when i quit aswell. We all have a path in life and while marijuana is a great natural medicine but sometimes its not what we need in our life.
You just aren’t smoking the right strains or are smoking too strong of cannabis
Lol what are they talking about who the hell doesn't sell weed in Chicago is the real question lol
Absolutely disgusting the way Chicago is handling this. I support veterans but this isn't right. These social equity programs need to actually be enforced and there need to be way more licenses, and there MUST be regulations in place to stop the legal cannabis system from being taken over by corporate interests and whoever has the most money. As a cannabis lover I will never support that. I'll go back to buying from the illicit market and I know that a lot of others feel the same as me.
I think, for a lot of states, this was the plan all along. They don’t want to help us unless they can rob us blind. Thats why you have to be rich to open up, they gotta look like they’re really out here helping the people who need it.
They still don’t like cannabis this is just a crowd control measure. So they can claim they represent us for the taxation we are subdued to but this don’t represent me thats for damn sure.
@@SeniorBillzy Damn straight
Same problem in virginia
The fact that the level of gov't incentives to certain industries varies is the problem.
I love her answer, it's ours it belongs to us. Unfortunately I was arrested in Chicago for possession of cannabis in 2001 and it is still following me. Because I no longer live in Chicago am I eligible for the Social Equity program?
Illinois has expunged all cannabis arrests for possesion under 30 grams. Your record should be clear by now.
Yes, As the law stands you are eligible due to the arrest.
Is it harder to open a dispensary than a brewery or a bar?
Weed is $65 for a 3.5. A street guy sells for $40. In Colorado and California, weed is so CHEAP, you put drug dealers out of business.
So i guess Illinois want bodies in jail AND money.
It’s messed up I pay $250 an ounce
I'm reading some of these comments. Some people are saying stop putting people in jail for weed. It's not going to happen. How would they keep these prisons full with minorities ? The governments incentive is keep charging them. Keep the Prison population at maximum capacity, with black and brown folk.
That bong pov is sum else
Hi. I did this video. Are you saying you liked it or didn't like it?
5:42 I'll agree with that, not transparent enough and not robust enough..
"...Can't except credit cards?" 🤔🤔🤔They do in Los Angeles and Colorado, I've perchaged there
I live in California and legalization has not made it more accessible to open a business.
4:13 it's meant to help out those disproportionately affected regardless where they from &/or their racial background.. also it's JEWISH Israeli companies that buying out Canadian companies which buy out &/or become MSOz multi state operators in the USA
Stopped at that mission shop crossing the country last year lol now we have mission in Massachusetts..... let's just go 50 states already
Buying weed in Illinois sucks.
It's way more interactive and hands-on in Colorado. Every bud tender i go see in Illinois, has smoked little to no bud in their lives.
I want in, we're learning
I think it's a good idea for investors to invest in morgues and I think this is a good idea cuz think about the amount of bodies are going to come rolling in overweed👏👏👏👏🙌🙌love it ❤️❤️
Anybody can grow weed but not everyone can make beer or alcohol or grow tobacco that's why it's a problem because if "they" feel they can't get 99% of the revenue without you getting some money off of it too that's a problem "they" want total control like beer alcohol & cigarettes
Wow..This was very informative and very well done ✅
I wish I could say I'm surprised but unfortunately,these types of practices happen across the board with anything that appears to be lucrative.. Black communities and people become invisible,but yet it's our backs and our lives that created the lucrative end of such ventures..
At every turn the government tries to block us from creating something that will truly bring about generational wealth, legally.. It shouldn't be so hard to obtain the go ahead to create these businesses in areas that the city has long since given up on,in many respects.. Let the people pull themselves up by their bootstraps..
What is the government afraid of..?
I live in Dallas and I have zero hope for anything beyond what's already in place,which is medical marijuana which is low THC and only about 5 or 6 medical conditions are eligible,but there are literally hundreds of doctors advertising to get folks on,to basically what amount to smoking hemp..😒
I love that this was female based and the women are so passionate, articulate and knowledgeable about what they hope for and what should already be happening..💯

What is the name and where is your club in Chi - after seeing this I dont want to go elsewhere
Why would you need a "license" in a free country? Oh, sorry, its USA, my mistake.
The exact same thing just happened in VA, which was legalized last year, there are so few dispensaries around that most are out of state. The va legislation just passed a law to block small farmers and businesses from sales without major amounts of tax. It is something that the hemp farmers are angry about here, as it affects them, as well as the CBD sold in stores, they will not allow but a miniscule amount of THC in it, so this is giving time for big Canna to set up business and run the locals off by laws and taxes. It's set up for the rich by the government, it can't be any plainer to see what they are doing to maximize their profit and taxation. There has to be a way to stop the government from acting like they are letting us do this at costs that you have be in league with major business to succeed, I just don't have the info to know
Is it really worth it to promote recreational marijuana use amongst impressionable black youth? Will it strengthen the minds and brain power of them to succeed in life?
Yes it is there’s nothing wrong with cannabis
The answers to your questions are no and no. The human brain is in development continually from birth all the way to the age of 25. (Link posted below) So, this means that the human brain is not fully developed until the age of 25.
Therefore, brain development and activity are definitely being impaired during those times of smoking marijuana.
Check out the comment above where the person says that they started smoking marijuana in their early twenties and now at the age of 35 they cannot smoke it without getting sick and suffering a heart attack.
The use of recreational marijuana will only cause a person to remain in a recreational frame of mind about life. ((Our people do not want to hear such truth.))
You have to know that "they" know what "they're" doing to our young people and adults when they criminalize marijuana first and then legalize it later.
They know that our people are not able to keep their hands off of it and that they will not succeed in life because of their improper use of it.
You see, the "other people" knew how to manage their life and careers while using marijuana when it was illegal. They made sure not to get "caught" in their everyday living.
Now that is is legal they are able to open up their own cannabis businesses. The other people knew that our people would produce for themselves a bad rap sheet when it comes to marijuana while it was illegal; so that when it became legal for use and selling our people would not be able to do so because of their past criminal interactions and encounters with marijuana.
You see, it was their plan all along. As usual, they just depend on the improper actions of our people in the process to make it all happen for the good of themselves on the legal side. They always study our human behavior and so therefore they always know how we are going to act as a majority.
Sad to say, as usual, our people always fall for what they do because our people are always trying to emulate them.
We have to learn how to be our own people among our ownselves and stop trying to just get away with stuff like the other people always get away with stuff when it comes to the law.
They have ways of getting away with it without getting caught and imprisoned.
Our people need to learn how to live a life of decency and respect toward whatever laws for the sake of their livelihood and generational prosperity.
As you can see, our children and young people are on a continual downward spiral even in the 21st century.
Our people should have been going strong ever since the late 80s up to now. Our young people should have been the leaders and innovators and inventors of the now and tomorrow.
Instead, they are breaking laws and becoming crime bosses in major cities at the age of 11. ((Such is the case in Chicago)) I would venture to say that they are smoking marijuana and/or inhaling second-hand marijuana smoke probably at the age of 14 or less and they are on the path to destruction because of such recreational use and exposure. Here is the link:

This is informative for the economic genocide that is taking place. Not geared to promote children to use cannabis recreationally. Although it is a healing plant. It is a mood modifier and I believe (although far from reality) that children should not partake
No it wont
So I'm in the state of Florida and here's what I told many of my street guys I informed them that their their lifestyle of selling marijuana will probably end once they legalize the selling and use of cannabis We're Seeing Mini shops pop up And here's what I told Many of the young people in the industry what to do go out invest in a smoke shop Get in on the back end of the cannabis stores It really is inexpensive to start a smoke shop And I've told many of my people to hurry up and do it before they close all loopholes Yes you can be a convicted felon and open up a smoke shop andyou can be a convicted felon and Sale beer and wine As long as you don't have any arrest on selling illegally cigarettes and beer or wine But sadly many have not listened to the information that I have given out and right now it is Getting to the point where I see a smoke shop on every corner and the people who are monopolizing on this concept are the same people who have been in the black community destroying the fabrics of the community You destroyed the community by taking the money out of the community and not putting money back into the community Like jobs I can go on and on but when someone tells you how to make money people let's start doing it I had nothing to gain by simply giving out free information which is public
Yeah but I noticed thefts as well.
I’m in the Orlando area. I’m out of the game for good. One day in 2022, my Puerto Rican homeboy texted me saying he quit as well. It’s being dominated by weirdos that never had to risk selling it to keep the lights on and put food on the table. Yea I sold to some people with great professional careers that I won’t disclose. These dispensaries won’t hire a guy that looks like me even without drug convictions/felonies.
I install car audio, security, cameras, and body modifications now. That’s what I’ve always wanted to do. Heck, I don’t even smoke because they took the fun out of it. Go the safe route and invest something non drug related.
It’s Like That…Damn
I was sent to prison here in Nevada in 2014 on two 4 year sentences running concurrent for one pound of marijuana. I am paralyzed from the neck down on my left side and I was 61 at the time. Now it's legal.
SMH. That is horrible. Sorry u went through that.
Decriminalizing should be the immediate goal. Past and current. IMO
Ill like to open up dispensary in Beverly Hills and in all those Rich shopping area
1:25 bruh sounded just like Kawhi Leonard 🤣
Weed should cost as much as any average spice. The government should stop taxing it whatsoever.
They gave out like 10 licenses here in Maryland and they cost a couple hundred thousand. What a joke
The law is written by people who have NO clue. We need to educate them.
Dude @1:24 got a Jay-Z laugh
Veterans are part of these Minority mostly coming from those communities. They served their country and are now serving their neighbors. Don't blame others for working hard and getting a slice of the pie, and creating more opportunities and job growth.

Is it legal to make an exchange system that doesn't involve the product.. Like Cannabis coins and make them redeemable for the real thing. That way the tenders and customers don't have to worry about cash and grabs. Security exist anymore? Stores are ok but homegrown is almost free why is this whole thing still attractive to people anyways.
Put that shit in between beauty shop and check cashing place
