Today’s guest is Tahira Rehmatullah who is a partner at Highlands Venture Partners, Co-Founder and CEO of Commons, and member of the board of directors for Akerna Corp and Last Prisoner Project. Tahira is often referred to in the trade press as “The most powerful woman in cannabis.”
Tahira Rehmatullah and Akwasi Owusu-Bempah are Authors and Writers of the book, “Waiting to Inhale”: Cannabis Legalization and The Fight for Racial Injustice.
Tahira discusses how she met Akwasi, how Tahira became interested in the research about cannabis, the laws surrounding cannabis, and the injustices in the brown and other minority communities. Why are people still serving severe sentences and other people aren’t for the same offense?
