Legalising Cannabis
from Second Chance
Cannabis, or weed as it is widely known, is freely available to order online for delivery in some states of America. This decriminalisation and legalisation of cannabis, although in conflict with Federal laws, has generated a trade now worth millions of dollars for CEO’s importing or growing their own weed in places like California, Colorado and Alaska.But not everyone is in high spirits about the state of play. Evelyn Lachapelle served five years, from a 7 year prison sentence, for illegally laundering money generated from cannabis trafficking, before it became legal. She now campaigns for the sentences of over 40,000 prisoners, convicted and imprisoned for cannabis crimes, to be overturned now that the law has changed.Links: Last Prisoner Project - Cannabis Reform NonprofitEVELYN LACHAPELLEEvelyn LaChapelle (@EvelynLaChapel5)Second Chance: facebook.com/RaphaelRowePodcast/Second Chance Webpage: Second ChanceWebsite: Raphael-Rowe.com Instagram: @areporterTwitter: @areporter) Sound by Joe Adams Podcasts| Audio AvalancheSupport the show Hosted on Acast.
