Cannabis Social Justice & Policy Degree
About the Cannabis Social Justice & Policy Degree
Cannabis is a subject mired by bad policy and law choices at the state and federal levels. The underbelly of social injustice is throughout those decisions. The result is an industry that often doesn’t make a lot of sense and a group of cultures that are denigrated or ignored. Our major strives to put the historical perspective to use to help understand how culture and policy should work together and the result is graduates perfectly placed to be industry leaders.
