Impact Row: Industry Advocacy from Prison to Plant

40 Tons is bringing Impact Row to MJBizCon, a pavilion dedicated to spotlighting justice-impacted companies, founders, and advocates in the cannabis industry.

Impact Row simulates the experience many cannabis entrepreneurs faced due to the War on Drugs and criminalization of the plant. This will feature a prison yard, a mug shot photo booth, a visitation center where attendees can get expert legal advice, and a commissary to purchase general merchandise. The activation will include 12 justice-impacted brands exhibiting to share their products, stories, and expertise.

"MJBizCon has recognized our mission and is helping pay it forward by supporting justice-impacted brands," says Corvain Cooper, Co-Founder and Chief Brand Ambassador of the 40 Tons Foundation. Support the cause at MJBizCon this December.
