Tito Jackson's cannabis dispensary, Apex Noire, is now open in downtown Boston! Former Boston City Councilor and mayoral candidate Tito Jackson and his partners held a grand opening for the seven-story dispensary on Saturday, making it the first Black-owned cannabis dispensary in the area. Mr. Jackson is passionate about amplifying racial equity in the cannabis industry, and his staff of 20 is composed of 80% people of color, many of whom have Massachusetts CORI records from the criminal justice system. His team is also offered free financial literacy classes, and employees are paid a minimum of $17.50 per hour.
At the ribbon-cutting, guests enjoyed a block party, food trucks, and live music, followed by a private party on the rooftop of the dispensary. This is a prime location for cannabis lovers, as it is near Faneuil Hall, which draws nearly 18 million visitors each year. Apex Noire is proving to be a huge success, and Jackson plans to open a spot in Medford by the end of the year.
