Social Equity Partners

Social Equity Partners was established to assist Arizona residents convicted of non-violent cannabis felonies to apply for adult-use marijuana dispensary and cultivation establishment licenses through the Social Equity Program. With the passage of Prop 207, approximately 160 licenses became available, and of those, 26 are allocated for those directly impacted by cannabis prohibition. Social Equity Partners’ goal is to offer Arizona residents with cannabis convictions comprehensive support in receiving a license and establishing a cannabis business through the Social Equity Program. Founder Thomas Lopez was convicted in 2001 by the State or Arizona with a felony for marijuana possession and understands the obstacles a criminal conviction presents for personal and professional growth. Social Equity Partners offers complete support from application to opening and will even assist with funding, branding, marketing, and operations to help local residents create local businesses that will generate revenue and help revive communities negatively impacted by cannabis prohibition.
