Along with his wife, head grower Jennifer Speer-Harvey, the couple is committed to creating a more equitable cannabis landscape.</p> <h3>Antonio Harvey: A Trailblazer in More Ways Than One</h3> <p>Best known for his time as a Portland Trail Blazer, Harvey’s influence has moved beyond basketball. He’s leveraging his platform to bring attention to equity issues within the cannabis industry, issues he deeply understands.</p> <p> </p> <h3>The Hurdles of LUCS</h3> <p>Navigating through the exhaustive Land Use Compatibility Survey (LUCS) is a common obstacle for aspiring cannabis entrepreneurs. This becomes even more burdensome for those without the resources to employ expert guidance.</p> <h3>Booming Sales, Limited Access</h3> <p>Cannabis is big business in Oregon, pulling in $80 million in a single month. However, the Cannabis Policy Oversight Team (CPOT) stresses that policies must prioritize <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com/oregons-misstep-lagging-behind-in-cannabis-equity-programs/amp/">social equity</a> to rectify historical imbalances.</p> <h3>Harmony Roots: A Benchmark for Cannabis Equity</h3> <p><a href="https://www.harmonyroots.cc/">Harmony Roots</a> stands out as a vanguard for industry equity and quality. The brand’s unique selling point is its meticulous blend of terpenes and flavonoids, crafted under the expert eye of head grower, Jennifer Speer-Harvey.</p> <h4>Jennifer Speer-Harvey: A Legacy of Farming and a Future in Cannabis</h4> <div id="attachment_198427" style="width: 810px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-198427" class="size-full wp-image-198427" src="https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/14014AA8-4337-4CAE-998B-54761A79A62C.jpeg?resize=740%2C740&ssl=1" alt="Antonio Harvey Cannabis Equity" width="740" height="740" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/14014AA8-4337-4CAE-998B-54761A79A62C.jpeg?w=800&ssl=1 800w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/14014AA8-4337-4CAE-998B-54761A79A62C.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/14014AA8-4337-4CAE-998B-54761A79A62C.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/14014AA8-4337-4CAE-998B-54761A79A62C.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/14014AA8-4337-4CAE-998B-54761A79A62C.jpeg?resize=80%2C80&ssl=1 80w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/14014AA8-4337-4CAE-998B-54761A79A62C.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/blackcannabismagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/14014AA8-4337-4CAE-998B-54761A79A62C.jpeg?resize=100%2C100&ssl=1 100w" sizes="(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px" /><p id="caption-attachment-198427" class="wp-caption-text">Jennifer Speer-Harvey</p></div> <p>Growing up in an agricultural family, Jennifer Speer-Harvey had a clear vision for her future. Not content to be relegated to the office, she seized the opportunity to become a head grower, earning Harmony Roots a place among Oregon’s ‘Elite Eight.’</p> <h4>The Female Factor in Cannabis</h4> <p>Jennifer Speer-Harvey faced gender-based roadblocks in a male-dominated industry but found an eager market among women. Her journey has empowered her to produce cannabis products that resonate with women across various roles in life.</p> <h3>The Move from “Poison to Plant”</h3> <p>As Antonio Harvey puts it, “Our big thing is getting people off of poison and onto a plant.” He calls for equitable access to the cannabis industry, emphasizing that opportunities should be open for all, not just a privileged few.</p> <h3>Conclusion</h3> <p>Through Harmony Roots, Antonio and Jennifer Speer-Harvey are setting new standards for quality and equity in the cannabis sector. They combine their unique strengths—his influence as a former Trail Blazer and her expertise as a head grower—to push the industry towards a more equitable future.</p> <p><iframe title="Interview: Former Trail Blazer Antonio Harvey on equity in cannabis industry" width="740" height="416" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wip9Hqh9Azc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <p> </p> <p>The post <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com/antonio-harvey-champions-cannabis-equity-with-harmony-roots/">Antonio Harvey Champions Cannabis Equity with Harmony Roots</a> appeared first on <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com">Black Cannabis Magazine</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://blackcannabismagazine.com/antonio-harvey-champions-cannabis-equity-with-harmony-roots/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">198426</post-id> </item> </channel> </rss> <!-- Performance optimized by W3 Total Cache.
