TILT Holdings (TILT) has partnered with the Last Prisoner Project, a nonprofit organization facilitating successful re-entries for individuals with cannabis convictions.

According to TILT, the Last Prisoner Project is a network of cannabis industry leaders, policy and education experts, and social justice leaders working towards restorative justice for people who were incarcerated for cannabis offenses.

As part of the agreement that will roll out throughout the year, TILT and Last Prisoner Project stated they would build strategic initiatives that engage across all subsidiaries and communities they serve. The company believes that all legal cannabis operators are obligated to correct the injustices made by laws before cannabis decriminalization.

“Cannabis has been largely decriminalized for several years now, and we need to do our part to help bring freedom to those disproportionately impacted over the past 40 years… and TILT shares a similar vision of rightful freedom and equity for all those that have been unjustly impacted by cannabis laws,” TILT CEO, Gary Santo, said.

TILT stated that tens of thousands of people remain incarcerated for cannabis and that the population is primarily people of colour. Some of the endeavours included in the project are securing freedom for those incarcerated, working to expunge cannabis-related criminal records, and educating the public on the harms of history’s War on Drugs.

TILT Holdings Inc. (TILT) is down 4.08 per cent trading at $0.23 per share as of 2:39 p.m. ET.
