										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>From Court to Cannabis: Antonio Harvey and Harmony Roots Advocate for Equity</h3>
<h4>Introduction</h4>
<p>Former Portland Trail Blazer Antonio Harvey has transitioned from scoring points on the court to making a societal impact through cannabis. 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&#8217;s influence has moved beyond basketball. He&#8217;s leveraging his platform to bring attention to equity issues within the cannabis industry, issues he deeply understands.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</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&#8217;s unique selling point is its meticulous blend of terpenes and flavonoids, crafted under the expert eye of head grower, Jennifer Speer-Harvey.</p>

<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&#8217;s &#8216;Elite Eight.&#8217;</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 &#8220;Poison to Plant&#8221;</h3>
<p>As Antonio Harvey puts it, &#8220;Our big thing is getting people off of poison and onto a plant.&#8221; 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>
