Lantern, a leading on-demand cannabis e-commerce marketplace and home delivery platform, who as of today has officially launched its fifth social equity incubator program, The New York Cannabis Project. Akele Parnell, Head of Equity Partnerships at Lantern fills us in.

This incubator provides New York’s social equity entrepreneurs with the skills, knowledge, and resources needed to succeed and become leaders in the emerging New York cannabis industry.

The New York Cannabis Project has also collaborated with the Bronx Defenders and The Bronx Community Foundation to support the launch of The Bronx Cannabis Hub, advocated for by Senator Chuck Schumer. The hub will provide New Yorkers with information about economic opportunities in the cannabis industry and tools to navigate the application and licensing process.
