A rising tide lifts all boats

South Shore Buds Social Equity Mentorship Program

At South Shore Buds, each time you leave us, and we’re always sad to see you go, we want you to go home, not just with the best premium cannabis products available, but with all the information you need, to enjoy them. We hear, “you guys know a lot about this stuff,” quite a bit. Each of us is a true advocate for Cannabis education and we’re passionate about what we do. Here at SSB we hope to find some fellow buds, equally as passionate, with the help of the CCC’s – the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission’s – Social Equity Program.

The Social Equity Program creates pathways into the cannabis industry for those folks in Massachusetts who were disproportionately impacted by the War on Drugs through arrest and incarceration. The program provides participants with education, skill-based training, and tools for success in the industry. Upon completion of the program, participants will have acquired tools and training to apply for and obtain a license through the CCC.

Much like the Last Prisoner Project we work with, this program works to make up, in some way, for the injustice faced by so many, for something that so many of us now take for granted. Everyone here at South Shore Buds is psyched to be a part of this program and we look forward to finding our very first mentee! The program will be available to past and present residents of identified areas of disproportionate impact, and if you or someone you know is looking to get started in the cannabis business with a truly great team to teach you, then just drop us a line. Be sure to tell us a little about yourself, and most importantly, let us know the best way to contact you – e-mail, phone, etc.

We’re incredibly proud to be a part of this program, as it’s another way to give back to the community we love so much!

The program will be available to past and present residents of identified areas of disproportionate impact, Economic Empowerment applicants, and Social Equity applicants.
