Vision and Values

MA Craft Cultivation’s identity is rooted in the background of its founders, all of who have extensive political experience in public health, social justice, and advocacy.  We believe that taxing and regulating cannabis is the best route towards improving negative public health, public safety, and social impacts associated with the illicit cannabis market.  We believe that cannabis legalization presents an unprecedented economic opportunity for small family run businesses, but high regulatory and financial barriers to entry prevent Massachusetts from realizing the cannabis law’s promise that some benefits from the new market will accrue in areas disproportionately affected by the Drug War. We seek a role in defining the craft cannabis market in Massachusetts by expanding access to the opportunity it provides.
