In a rapidly evolving cannabis industry, where social equity remains an ongoing challenge, Standard Wellness Maryland is making history. Led by Christina Betancourt Johnson, the company is the first African American and Latina majority-owned, vertically integrated cannabis company in the United States—as confirmed by the company with the social equity office in Maryland.
Now, with the opening of The Forest in Baltimore's Canton neighborhood, Johnson and her team are bringing their vision of wellness, community and representation to life.
