About The JUSTÜS Foundation
Who We Are
The JUSTÜS Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring and facilitating the entry of legacy (pre-legalization) operators to the legal cannabis market. The organization was founded in October 2021 by the prominent cannabis leader Steve DeAngelo, in response to two related trends:
- The exclusion of the legacy cannabis operators from the legal industry
- The persistence of a dual market following legalization
which results in a delay in consumer migration to the legal cannabis market.
Our mission is to secure a legal role in the industry for the pioneers who carried cannabis medicine through the years of prohibition and to create a single, unified, legal market for cannabis.
