They were made to call attention to those who are still incarcerated for marijuana charges, even as the drug has been widely legalized across the United States. The sneakers come as part of a wider a T-shirt, shorts and hoodie. To coincide with the capsule, Reebok has pledged to donate $10,000 to Last Prisoner Project

“How a Plant Became Illegal” T-Shirt

As millions walk into their local dispensaries every day to buy cannabis, there are tens of thousands incarcerated for doing the very same thing. ⁣Last Prisoner Project’s collaboration with For Everyone Collective aims to raise awareness for those impacted by cannabis prohibition and shed light on this injustice. ⁣⁣⁣The shirts were designed and printed by formerly incarcerated people and all profits from this collection will go towards LPP’s Constituent Support Fund to aid those currently incarcerated for cannabis offenses. ⁣


Purchase Cannabis from Justice Partners

Our Roll It Up For Justice Program is a nationwide campaign encouraging cannabis businesses to give customers the opportunity to donate to Last Prisoner Project at check out.  Small change can make a big impact, and every cent raised through the program gets us closer to the day when every last cannabis prisoner is set free. No dispensary around you currently participating? Encourage your budtender to check it out. And as always, make sure to buy weed from the people that have been traditionally criminalized the most including Black, Latine, LGBTQ+, and women legacy operators.


Cheech and Chong Judges Water

The Judge's Water™ is a treasure for any true vodka lover, and the bottle is every stoner's
dream… But for us, this project is more than just a cool concept. With over half a century advocating for the green, and a couple of mugshots to show for it, Cheech and Chong have seen firsthand the sting of outdated drug laws. Millions of Americans are locked up in states where cannabis is legal for non-violent drug offenses. All because of the backwards drug laws we've had in this country for decades. That just doesn’t sit right with us, man. It's a harsh reality we want to help change. That’s why a portion of all proceeds from The Judge’s Water™ are going to support The Last Prisoner Project’s mission to ensure that every last cannabis prisoner is released, & to help reintegrate them back into society. 


GRAV Classic Spoon

As part of our ongoing partnership with Last Prisoner Project, we’ve teamed up to release a limited edition spoon. This glossy black hand pipe features the same high-capacity bowl and inverted ash-catching mouthpiece as our Classic Spoon. It’s also etched with both the GRAV and LPP emblems. Pass it around and get the conversation started. 100% of proceeds will be donated to the Last Prisoner Project.

As millions celebrated Mother’s Day, LPP constituent and mother Melissa Charran spent the day behind bars. Like countless other families impacted by the War on Drugs, Melissa’s son is growing up without both of his parents. In a letter to LPP, Melissa shares her story: “It is truly unbelievable to be sitting here, in federal prison, for something many folks on the outside are building businesses out of. That was, and still is, a dream of mine—to own and operate my own brand within the c🍃nnabis industry. “I was charged in Denver, Colorado, where I lived at the time with my other half, Eric. He was also arrested and sentenced to 13 years. Being 5 months pregnant when I was arrested caused me a ton of stress and also resulted in an unhealthy amount of weight loss—something I’ve struggled with for a long time even prior to my arrest, which was the ultimate reason behind obtaining a medical 🍃 card in Colorado. “My pretrial supervision took place in Minnesota where I submitted to random urine tests, home inspections, therapy requirements and had to seek employment. I was successful, all while carrying my baby to full term, gave birth (without his father by my side) and raising him with the help of my family. “Although I served 2 years and 5 months pretrial, it was not satisfactory for the federal government … My sentencing judge stated that he 'needed to make an example out of me.' He gave me 24 months plus 1 year probation. “It kills me everyday to know that my 2-year-old son has to grow up without his parents, and I have felt helpless for a long time. I am beyond thankful to have heard from LPP, and I look forward to what feels like a hopeful future now.” As part of our advocacy program, LPP has supported Melissa with commissary funding, letters of support, and will recieve a reenty grant upon her release.

This Mother’s Day, please consider donating to support all mothers impacted by cannabis prohibition—both at home and behind bars. His mother Tina shared this statement:⁣ ⁣ ”I just want to thank everyone that has helped Christian, I’m overwhelmed by the outpouring of love, support and generosity. We are truly grateful and could not have gotten prepared for him without the help of so many and the help we received from organizations like The Last Prisoner Project. We appreciate them all greatly. ⁣ ⁣ We are so excited [to have Christian home]. He’s having a lot of anxiety in this transition after almost 8 years of being incarcerated but is looking forward to [being] home.

This week, Senators Booker, Schumer, and Wyden reintroduced the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act (CAOA), comprehensive legislation that would legalize cannabis federally, expunge cannabis records, and release cannabis prisoners. Here are just a few highlights to help breakdown this bill: CAOA, if passed, could finally decriminalize cannabis on the federal level. Federal courts would have 1 year to expunge or seal arrests, convictions, and juvenile delinquency adjudications for most non-violent federal cannabis offenses. They'd also be required to educate recipients on the effects of their expungement(s). Some federal cannabis tax revenue would be directed to organizations that help people secure state-level cannabis expungements. The Bureau of Prisons would have 60 DAYS TO RELEASE (and vacate the convictions of) individuals serving tiem for most federal cannabis-only offenses. Individuals whose convictions don't fall under those guidelines, or whose sentences were enhanced because of prior cannabis convictions, would be able to petition the court for a reduced sentence. The feds wouldn't be able to deny people federal public assistance because of cannabis use, possession, or convictions. They also would not be able to consider cannabis a controlled substance for the purposes of immigration proceedings. Read more about the CAOA here and read recent coverage in Filter Mag and Marijuana Moment of our 420 Unity Day where we joined with advocates to talk to Sen. Schumer and other lawmakers about the CAOA and other efforts to enact cannabis justice
