Give back while you celebrate this year by helping the push to get cannabis prisoners back home

As we gear up for the biggest cannabis holiday of the year, it is easy to get caught up in the deals and the celebrations. But for many of us in the community, April 20th carries a deeper weight. While we are lucky enough to walk into a professional storefront and browse through various strains, there are still thousands of individuals locked away for the very same plant. This is where the Last Prisoner Project comes in, and they need our help more than ever.

This organization is dedicated to one clear goal: making sure no one remains behind bars for a substance that is now being sold for profit across the country. They tackle the problem from every angle, starting with legal intervention to secure the release of those serving time for non-violent offenses. Beyond that, they work on clearing records—because a past conviction can be a permanent roadblock to finding a place to live or a decent job. They even provide reentry grants to help folks get back on their feet after they finally walk free.

Supporting this mission is one of the most impactful things you can do this month. If you are heading out to pick up some supplies, look for the Roll It Up for Justice program at your local dispensary. It allows you to round up your change to the nearest dollar, with every cent going toward these reform efforts. It is a tiny sacrifice for us that adds up to a massive difference for someone else.

If you want to do more, consider writing a letter to a governor or a current prisoner. Sometimes, just knowing that the community has not forgotten about you is the biggest support of all. Let us make sure that as we celebrate our progress, we are actively working to bring everyone else along with us. Real justice means nobody gets left behind.
