KushCo Holdings Partners with Project Mission Green
The Weldon Project surrounds Weldon Angelos, a former inmate sentenced to 55 years in prison for a nonviolent cannabis offense. Project Mission Green, an initiative of The Weldon Project, has partnered with KushCo holdings to spread further awareness about prisoners who are being held for nonviolent cannabis offenses. KushCo Holdings is an ancillary cannabis business that sells packaging, containers, and other products for cannabis businesses to use. Their partnership is symbolic of the fact that the fight to reform cannabis policy is everyone’s fight, especially those brands who are operating legally. Those in the legal cannabis industry should never forget that the very thing they make a living from, sent many just like us to prison. It should be a mission in all of our minds to fight for those who are locked up for nonviolent cannabis offenses.
