The Last Prisoner Project works diligently to address the systemic issues behind cannabis inequality, and TILT shares a similar vision of rightful freedom and equity for all those that have been unjustly impacted by cannabis laws.\u201d<\/p>\n The Last Prisoner Project is a network of cannabis industry leaders, policy and education experts, and social justice leaders dedicated to fostering restorative justice for those incarcerated for cannabis offenses. According to the organization\u2019s website<\/u><\/a>, tens of thousands of people remain incarcerated for cannabis\u2014and that population is disproportionately people of color. Some of the projects conducted by the Last Prisoner Project include securing freedom for those incarcerated, working to expunge cannabis-related criminal records, and educating the public on the ongoing harms generated by the War on Drugs.<\/p>\n \u201cOur work would not be possible without the support and dedication of our partners in the cannabis industry,\u201d said Mary Bailey, managing director of Last Prisoner Project. \u201cCompanies like TILT are an integral part of the community of leaders, experts and advocates that we have cultivated to assist those impacted by cannabis prohibition. We are incredibly excited to begin our partnership with TILT, a brand with a proven track record of dedication to equity in cannabis.\u201d<\/p>\n About TILT <\/strong> Instagram: @tiltholdings About Last Prisoner Project<\/strong> Company Contact:<\/strong> Investor Relations Contact:<\/strong> Media Contact:<\/strong> Last Prisoner Project Media Contacts:<\/strong>

The Last Prisoner Project (LPP) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to cannabis-related criminal justice reform. As the United States moves away from the criminalization of cannabis, giving rise to a major new industry, there remains the fundamental injustice inflicted upon those who have suffered under America\u2019s unjust policy of cannabis prohibition.
