Radio Free Cannabis #4 - Life Behind Bars

,

I met both of our guests in the course of my work with the Last Prisoner Project and asked them to share their stories; to share the horror they experienced, so that all parts of our community might better understand the real-life impact of cannabis Prohibition, in the hopes of inspiring more activism in the global cannabis community.

Evelyn La Chapelle and Stephanie Shepard were both recently released from Federal prisons in the United States, where at least 40,000 other cannabis prisoners are still incarcerated, but we know that there are people imprisoned and sometimes executed for cannabis crimes all around the world. If the stories you are about to hear inspire you to take action, a great starting point would be figuring out how many cannabis prisoners there are in your country, what their conditions are, and how they can best be helped. Once you get that information, let us know, and we’ll share it with the rest of the global community.

,

Steve brings together Niambe McIntosh; Activist, Entrepreneur and the daughter of iconic reggae musician, Peter Tosh & Fab 5 Freddy; filmmaker of Grass Is Greener documentary and legendary VJ of 'Yo! MTV Raps. In Episode #3, we jump back in time and take a closer look at the influence cannabis had on the rise of the Jazz age, Reggae, and how music was a vector to spreading truths about the plant across the world. We recognize some of our greatest musical geniuses who loved the plant, but most importantly, we acknowledge the cultures most responsible for the diaspora of cannabis migration in America.
