KEY’s Mission:
The ripple effects of our work are undeniable. By investing in this industry, we are creating jobs, driving economic growth, and offering new opportunities in communities that have historically borne the brunt of harsh drug policies. These are communities where hope has often been in short supply, and where the stigma of past convictions has made it difficult for people to rebuild their lives.
Our commitment to social justice and equity is more than just words—it’s woven into the fabric of everything we do. We are not just building companies; we are building pathways to a better future.
By supporting the legal cannabis industry, we are helping to create jobs that offer not just a paycheck but a second chance. We are opening doors for individuals who have been marginalized and giving them the opportunity to participate in a growing industry with the potential to transform their lives.
This mission is near and dear to our hearts. We are driven by the belief that a thriving cannabis industry can be a force for good, not just for those who invest in it, but for society as a whole.

Cannabis’ Impact on Public Health
Studies have shown that cannabis consumption is linked to significant public health benefits, including reducing opioid-related deaths and decreasing alcohol use. States with legal cannabis programs have seen opioid overdose deaths drop by as much as 25%, as cannabis offers a safer alternative for pain management.
Additionally, research suggests that cannabis access has led to a reduction in alcohol consumption by up to 15%, offering a less harmful option for recreational use. These trends highlight the potential of cannabis to create healthier communities and reduce reliance on more dangerous substances.
