DEVIN ALEXANDER

Instrumental in crafting the regulations for the Marijuana Delivery Operator License, a license set aside exclusively for social equity applicants, Alexander started his career in the cannabis industry in 2017 working as a budtender at a medical marijuana dispensary in his hometown of Quincy. He is a graduate of the first cohort of the Massachusetts Social Equity Program, the co-founder, CEO, and majority owner of Rolling Releaf, a Newton-based marijuana delivery operator. The business received its notice to commence operations in February 2023 from the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission and became the first Black-owned cannabis business and the first Social Equity Certified cannabis business in the City of Newton.
