Talking with a Frontline Optimist - Andrew DeAngelo

  • Summary

  • Groundbreaking cannabis activist and consultant Andrew DeAngelo has been a key actor in the legalization of this industry. This week on OIP he talks to Tom and Drea about his personal connection with cannabis on both sides of the law and his commitment to redressing past and continuing injustices through The Last Prisoner Project, a non-profit organization he co-founded with his brother. They also discuss the use of the arts and culture to remove the stigma that still looms large over marijuana use. His deep conviction to social change and his willingness to make personal sacrifices are an inspiring reminder that grassroots activism starts from within.
