ATLANTA — A Lithonia lawmaker whose district includes part of south Gwinnett wants to explore financing options to help minority businesses have a fair shot at participating in the Georgia’s burgeoning medical marijuana industry.

Rep. Dar’Shun Kendrick, D-Lithonia, is sponsoring a resolution that would create a study committee of state lawmakers that would meet later this year to look at financing low-interest loans for medical cannabis dispensaries owned by minorities, women and military veterans.
