Happy 420! Join me virtually—check out my schedule of events! All events include a fundraising component focused on a matter of urgent social and political importance for our community: the ongoing incarceration of cannabis prisoners, even where cannabis is legal. That’s the situation facing more than 40,000 prisoners in the United States, and hundreds of thousands across the world. Most of them are people of color or members of other marginalized groups. I founded the Last Prisoner Project in 2019 to right this historic wrong. Last Prisoner Project is a 501c(3) non-profit advocacy group with one simple, single-minded mission: to gain the release of every single cannabis prisoner on Planet Earth, and ensure that they have the resources to rebuild the lives stolen from them. Visit lastprisonerproject.org and please consider supporting us with as generous a donation as you can manage.

Be Well, Be Free!
