Alphonso T. Blunt is the only Equity Applicant with a dispensary open in Oakland

Three years ago, Oakland adopted a policy to help people busted for marijuana crimes get into the legal market. Alphonso T. Blunt is the first equity applicant benefiting from this program with a dispensary open for business. Since legalization, just four people have been offered equity permits to run dispensaries in Oakland. And Blunt is the only equity applicant with a new dispensary open.
