California County Offers Grants to Legacy Cannabis Operators

On August 16th, officials with Project Trellis in Humboldt County, California — a trio of counties known for producing the largest amount of cannabis in the U.S. — announced its second round of state-awarded funding for local cannabis operators. Project Trellis’ Local Equity Program will award the money to social equity applicants that qualify for them through a series of grants. To qualify, applicants must be Humboldt County residents; have 20% or more ownership/stake in a business; and meet household income limits. Applicants who qualify can apply for “$10,000 per service, unless otherwise indicated,” according to Project Trellis. The application period closes on September 17th. 

Kevin Durant’s Company Partners with WeedMaps

Pro basketball player, Kevin Durant, and his venture capital company Five Thirty Ventures, have formed a deal with WeedMaps, reports Forbes.

New Jersey Comes Closer to Adult-use Retail Sales

In November 2020, New Jersey voters approved a bill to legalize recreational cannabis. However, residents are still waiting for sales to begin. That’s because the state has yet to hash out details for licensing, regulations, etc. However, on Thursday, August 18th, regulators approved rules to help set up retail sales, reports Marijuana Moment. Some of those include a license cap at 37, and limits on cultivation. Additionally, the new rules also allow localities to ban storefronts, but not deliveries, in their jurisdictions.
