According to a Marijuana Business Daily study done in 2017, 81% of all cannabis business owners were white. This percentage starkly contrasted the 4.3 percent of Black entrepreneurs in the industry.

However, some Black business owners are uniquely stepping into the space and flipping it on its head. This includes Black women making a name for themselves in the canna-biz.
