Pot Profits for Pennsylvanians (P3)

Join Us

Sign here to join the P3 movement to uplift Pennsylvania's rural and urban communities through an equitable cannabis bill:

I believe that Pennsylvanians should reap the financial benefits of our Adult-Use Cannabis market rather than allowing out-of-state corporations to drain an estimated two to three billion dollars a year from our state.
I support state legislation that maximizes ownership of Adult Use Cannabis licenses for Pennsylvania farms and small businesses, with special attention to supporting those from communities damaged by the failed War on Drugs.
Once an equitable Adult-Use Cannabis bill is introduced in our legislature, count on me to advocate for its passage with my state senator and representative.

Cannabis Licenses

I am interested in applying for a license to grow, process and/or distribute Adult Use Cannabis.

The legalization and regulation of Adult Use Cannabis (AUC) in Pennsylvania affords a unique opportunity to lift up Pennsylvania’s rural and urban communities through local ownership of this new industry. By passing legislation to limit the power of multi-state corporations, we envision an AUC industry composed of business owners who live and work in the same communities they serve.

Special provisions must be made to ensure that ownership opportunities are accessible to small farmers and Black and Brown entrepreneurs, and that a portion of tax revenues be used to rebuild communities that have been devastated by the failed war on drugs.

The P3 Mission

Our mission is to advocate for state legislation that decentralizes the marijuana industry and maximizes ownership of AUC licenses for Pennsylvania family farms and small businesses, especially those owned by Black and Brown entrepreneurs, and to stop outside corporations from controlling the AUC market in Pennsylvania.

Pot Profits for Pennsylvanians, Not Outside Corporations

Our Objectives

1. Advocate for PA AUC Legislation that decentralizes the industry

Hire an expert on cannabis legislation to work with a group of allied PA legislators to develop legislation with the objective of supporting inclusion and a sustainable income for as many locally owned small businesses and farms as possible, rather than be a vehicle for amassing great wealth for a few multi-state corporations.
Legislation must directly benefit small PA farmers and Black and Brown entrepreneurs by making AUC licenses and contracts accessible to them, and limit the power of the oligarchies who are consolidating the cannabis industry in this country.
Legislation should exonerate and assist all nonviolent marijuana offenders with resources to be whole.

2. Launch a public campaign

3. Create a PA Small Business Cannabis Collective

Unite urban and rural businesses who are seeking licenses and provide them with technical assistance, help with license applications and capitalization.
Create a training program to support the PA Small Business Cannabis Collective members that will provided assistance in the areas of license applications, horticulture, processing and distribution training, accessing capital, addressing legal issues, branding, etc.
Develop restorative agriculture education programs for cultivating marijuana.
Adopt standards for responsible business and farming practices that Collective members pledge to abide by in order to create a model industry that cares for the well-being of our communities, the land and our natural environment.

4. Build a PA Cannabis investment fund

Background

Following legalization in neighboring New Jersey and New York, the Pennsylvania legislature is likely to pass AUC within a year’s time. The out-of-state corporations who now own most all the medical marijuana licenses in our state expect to dominate the market for AUC as well, and have the money and political influence to do so. Pennsylvanians must unite now to stop the growing cannabis multi-state oligarchy and ensure that this once in a lifetime opportunity of a lucrative new industry serves our state’s farmers and small businesses, instead of outside corporations and the interests of the super wealthy.

There is a lot at stake. Marijuana sales in Pennsylvania from January 2020 to January 2021 were a roaring $910 million. It is projected that once AUC is passed, marijuana sales in our state will be at least two billion dollars a year. That could mean billions of dollars a year flowing from the pockets of Pennsylvanians into the coffers of large out-of-state corporations. Instead, that money could stay in Pennsylvania to support our family farms and rural communities and rebuild urban communities harmed by the drug war. We must stand up and fight for Pennsylvanians!
