BLACK CANNABIS INCLUSION ACTIVIST PROTEST GOVERNOR
Thursday Dec. 17TH 10AM
GOVERNOR’S OFFICE
100 West Randolph

A group of mostly Black and Latino activists upset over the Pritzker administration’s decision to allow the participants in the rigged Lottery to keep their multiple chances to win a dispensary license will protest Thursday and demand equal opportunity.

Allowing minorities in the lottery is not enough if the Governor Allows the insider groups with their suspicious “Perfect” scores to keep as many as 78 chances to win the lucrative licenses. It is obvious that the companies connected with the politicians and Major cannabis companies will easily win with those odds.

We are asking the Governor to keep his word and fix things now instead of kicking Black applicants down the road during harsh economic times. The Trailer Bill should be retroactive and limit the insiders to 10 chances, end the Slave Master clause (promise to hire) and treat all citizens fairly. For more info contact former State Senator Rickey Hendon

Isn’t Hollywood an investor in a pot group?

The trouble with lotteries is for everyone that wins, there are a lot of ones that don’t win.

Yeah, what are we waiting for? It’s not like there has been a pandemic or anything going on.

Where is Toi? I thought she was the pot Tsarina?

Maybe the Lt. Governor can throw her gummies out to the crowd….

Well I’d steer clear of 100 West Randolph. That’s assuming all the pot-laden participants can make it down there…just sayin.

How much does Toi make for not doing anything? When was the last time she spoke to this? She wanted this job, where is she?
