Legal weed is booming—but thousands are still locked up for it. That’s the gap High Times and Last Prisoner Project are stepping in to close.
The two just launched an ongoing partnership aimed at keeping cannabis prisoners in the spotlight, long after legalization headlines fade. The mission is simple: make sure the people still serving time for weed aren’t forgotten while the industry cashes in.
Through the collaboration, High Times will use its platform to amplify the stories of incarcerated individuals—putting real faces to a problem that often gets brushed aside in the rush toward legalization.
Because the reality is uncomfortable: legalization didn’t come with a universal reset button.
The Last Prisoner Project has already helped secure freedom equivalent to hundreds of years of prison time and provided millions in legal aid—but there are still plenty of people sitting behind bars for nonviolent cannabis offenses.
That’s the core message driving this partnership: legalization without justice isn’t progress—it’s unfinished business.
By combining media reach with activism, the goal is to keep pressure on lawmakers, raise public awareness, and push for real change—clemency, expungement, and second chances for those left behind.
Because if weed is legal now, the question gets harder to ignore:
Why are people still doing time for it?
