Justice Row: A Hand Up, Not a Handout Elevating Equity in Cannabis, One Opportunity at a Time! The cannabis industry thrives in boardrooms and dispensary shelves across America, yet thousands still sit behind bars for the same plant that others profit from. Justice Row, an initiative of the?40 Tons Foundation, exists to bridge this painful gap—giving justice-impacted entrepreneurs a platform to succeed in the legal market while keeping the fight for those still incarcerated for cannabis front and center, like Mohamed Taher, Parker Coleman, Pedro Moreno, or the thousands still behind bars. None of us are free, until we are all free! After?an unforgettable debut at MJBizCon 2024?in Las Vegas, we’re bringing Justice Row to NECANN Boston 2025. What started as Equity Row evolved into a powerful, immersive experience—one that didn’t just tell a story but made people feel it. We built a prison visiting room, conducting real interviews in the space to create a raw, unfiltered dialogue unlike any typical conference setup. A live tattoo station honored the reality that many behind bars mark their journeys with ink. We set up an intake center and a commissary, reinforcing the daily struggles of those still incarcerated for cannabis. And to make the experience interactive, a roll bar, prisoner letter-writing campaign, and other activations allowed attendees to engage in meaningful ways. We wanted to showcase the hypocrisy that here we are at a national conference making billions of dollars, meanwhile people are still incarcerated over the very thing we are all here making money on, having fun with, and enjoy our lives over. We didn’t want to just have a typical booth like a large percentage of companies exhibiting. We had to be different, unique, and innovative! READ MORE.... Link to Article: https://lnkd.in/g6SV6ErM

关于我们
Core Social Justice Cannabis Museum aims to provide a platform for multiple perspectives relating to the defective system of cannabis law in the United States. Decades of unsupported policies and the enforcement of the laws born of those policies have and continue to facilitate government overreach as well as create undue hardship in low- income and minority communities. Core will curate exhibits that urge people to look back at events and influences that sculpted our relationship with cannabis, as well as recognize and memorialize the inequitable events leading up to the multi-billion dollar industry that is cannabis today.

Are you attending NECANN? Stop by Justice Row and say hello—Core Cannabis Museum will be there! At Core, we preserve the untold history of #cannabis —its culture, science, and the deep impact of prohibition. Our story is built on lived experience: 81% minority-owned, 72% women-owned, and with investors who have collectively served 10+ years incarcerated. That’s why we’re proud to stand alongside 40 Tons Brand Justice Row, powered by HPI Canna, at NECANN conference in #Boston. Justice Row isn’t just an exhibit—it’s a movement. Created by 40 Tons, this initiative gives justice-impacted entrepreneurs a platform to showcase their businesses, connect with the industry, and create real economic opportunities in the space they fought for. ?? NECANN Boston – March 21-22 ?? Come see us at Justice Row and be part of the conversation! #JusticeRow #40Tons #NECANN #CoreCannabisMuseum #CannabisJustice #EquityInCannabis April Arrasate Kristen Picard Gloria Porras-Velasquez

Equity Row at MJBizCon was a powerful reminder of why we do this work. Seeing our exhibition spark conversations alongside inspiring brands like 40 Tons Brand, Steve DeAngelo, and so many other remarkable leaders reinforces the importance of justice and equity in this industry. We are honored to be part of a movement that’s not just about the plant, but about the people. Let’s keep pushing forward. #EquityInCannabis #CannabisJustice #CoreCannabisMuseum Kristen PicardApril ArrasateGloria Porras-VelasquezArturo VelasquezDaniel Herzog
If your house is anything like mine the kids are still playing with their gifts, so I wanted to use this brief moment/distraction to highlight MJBizCon's Equity Row whom I calling the beating heart of MJBiz thanks to Kenya's inspiring article that I'll share in the comments. Infinite gratitude to all those that fight for cannabis justice and this was more than just an exhibit space—it was a showcase of the heart and soul of the cannabis industry. These justice-impacted entrepreneurs are not only innovating with purpose but actively working to repair the harm caused by the War on Drugs. From brands like 40 Tons Brand, championing diversity while giving back to communities, to Up Elevated Cocktails, redefining cannabis hospitality through infused beverages, every exhibitor brought a unique perspective and passion for change. Highlights included: ?? Core Cannabis Museum’s moving art piece confronting the devastating incarceration stats tied to cannabis. ?? Dawn Doan of Luxe Rolls elevating consumption with handcrafted perfection. ?? Free My Weedman, @Prophet, The Weed Lady/87 Months by The Weed Lady, and The National Equity Trade Network's Ishaq Ali & Ramon Garcia, driving advocacy, equity, and inclusion in cannabis. These stories remind us that the fight for cannabis justice is far from over. It’s a privilege to share space with these pioneers and celebrate their work. Let’s uplift these voices and support businesses creating meaningful change. #EquityInCannabis #CannabisJustice #Entrepreneurship #SocialImpact #BetterDaysAreOnTheWay
