When Karl Marx and Frederich Engels popularized Flora Tristan's famous phrase “Workers of the world, unite!” in 1848, they sought to abolish the bureaucratic state and seize the means of production. In 2022, a national coalition of craft cannabis is aiming for a closer goal within capitalism, in the US: carving a space in regulations for small craft cannabis owners in one of the most dynamic sectors in the world.To that end, six state-level advocacy organizations representing over 1,000 small and independent commercial cannabis producers across the United States announced on September 20 the formation of the US National Craft Cannabis Coalition (NCCC).
"Cannabis workers will benefit from this lift for small cannabis companies, similar to small wineries, that employ workers, pay taxes, support our economy, etc.," explained a spokesperson for the NCCC.
