What the Cannabis Industry Can Do To Help Ex-Cons Right Now

One thing the cannabis industry could do – even though they are not responsible for this shit-show – is simply stop asking the question “have you gone to prison”. Maybe they have, maybe they haven’t – but if they are out now and asking you for a job, then let them be. I believe that people should be able to redeem themselves and ex-convicts need our help more than ever. Going to prison is like getting frozen in time. Some people were sentenced for decades – meaning that the world around them completely evolves, leaving them stuck in a time that no longer exists.
