Last Prisoner Project (LPP), a non-profit cannabis justice reform organization, has recently launched a short-form podcast series called "Just Cannabis." The podcast aims to examine the issue of cannabis justice through a series of interviews with directly impacted individuals and advocates.
Hosted by LPP's Director of Impact, Mikelina Belaineh, the podcast uses an intersectional lens and storytelling to shift the cannabis policy reform movement toward equity and justice.
In Season One, Mikelina highlights the voices of women who have been impacted by cannabis criminalization. Despite being the fastest-growing correctional population in the country, women are consistently overlooked by both the criminal justice and cannabis policy reform movements. Listeners will hear from mothers and daughters who have been impacted by the criminalization of cannabis, as well as from advocates like LPP’s Executive Director, Sarah Gersten.
Mikelina Belaineh, the host of "Just Cannabis", has been working as an advocate and organizer since the age of 18. After graduating from Harvard Law School in 2016, Mikelina has explored innovative, human-centric solutions to mass incarceration. Mikelina is also currently working on their first book, which will explore the intersections of gender, sexuality, gender-based violence, and mass incarceration.
