Sacramento's Cannabis Opportunity Reinvestment and Equity (CORE) program offers fee waivers, technical assistance, and priority licensing to applicants harmed by the War on Drugs. The Office of Cannabis Management administers eligibility and incubator partnerships.
Sacramento launched the CORE program in 2018 to address disparate harms of past cannabis prohibition. Eligibility generally requires past cannabis-related conviction, low income, or residence in specified high-impact zip codes. Approved CORE participants receive Sacramento business operations tax (BOT) waivers, application fee deferrals, free legal and business technical assistance, and incubator agreements that let licensed operators host CORE-tier startups. The Office of Cannabis Management vets applications and tracks compliance. CORE coexists with state-level Department of Cannabis Control equity grants under Proposition 64 and California Business and Professions Code 26000 and following.
Misrepresenting CORE eligibility or violating incubator agreement terms can result in revocation of equity benefits, repayment of waived fees, and disqualification from city cannabis programs.
