This mini-episode we are joined by the Honorable Lindsay Slawson to discuss Mississippi's case against Allen Russell, who was put in prison for life on possession of marijuana charges. Of course, this is absurd, right?! Listen to our discussion here about why this was possible and what we, as decent humans, can do to 1) help change the stigma around marijuana and 2) get our legislators working to get people like Allen out of prison for non-violent drug charges!

To Lindsay - You are such a special person. Thank you for all the amazing work you are doing in our community. We are so honored to have been blessed by your story on our podcast, and we hope that you would join us for another project in the future! Don't give up hope because with people like you and Gideon's Promise, change is coming... #notguilty
