The Cannabis Education Project is proud to announce that we are the official implementation partner of the Social Equity Entrepreneurs Program for the County of San Diego. 

The Social Equity Entrepreneurs Program of San Diego County will help qualified applicants participate in the legal cannabis industry by providing different types of assistance to social equity applicants like expungement services, business and technical assistance, one-on-one coaching and mentoring and grant opportunities.
