We have a real cool interview for you today where we speak with Andrew DeAngelo. Andrew is the younger brother of Steve DeAngelo who we have had on the show a few times in the past. Together they formed a very important movement "The Last Prisoner Project". Their mission is to get anyone convicted of cannabis crimes out of prison as soon as possible. So far the have got hundreds of people out of prison and they are doing great work for the cause. Andrew is also a cannabis consultant for cannabis companies and has worked with many people around the world. He is also a movie producer! A very cool guy and a really fun conversation, I hope you enjoy it. Thanks as always for downloading the show!
Andrew DeAngelo and his brother Steve were legacy cannabis market entrepreneurs and “reluctant activists” before founding one of America's most iconic cannabis businesses, Harborside Health Center Oakland in 2006. The DeAngelo's helped pave the way for today's legal cannabis industry, and in its heyday, Harborside was the “largest medical cannabis retailer in the world.” But when Harborside tried to expand into other states, Steve's cannabis felony proved too big a barrier. The DeAngelo's retreated to California, but needed investor capital to survive that difficult market, precipitating a less-than-desirable exit. Some takeaways from DeAngelo's story: When a locale or state doesn't want your business in them, don't fight to stay. Leave. Leaders need to create a family environment amongst the team while ensuring discipline and professionalism. Being an activist company is good for business Expanding brings unexpected costs that could either sink your business or require to you to seek outside capital. When negotiating your exit, you need to know advocate for yourself and know how to horse trade. Who is Andrew DeAngelo? Andrew DeAngelo is a cannabis industry consultant in Oakland, California, and co-founder of one of America's most iconic cannabis businesses, Harborside Health Center Oakland. DeAngelo served as Harborside's general manager, director of operations, and chief revenue officer until departing the company in 2018. He cofounded the Last Prisoner Project in 2019 and currently chairs its board of directors. DeAngelo launched Andrew DeAngelo Consulting out of Oakland in 2020 to provide strategic advice to cannabis businesses. Before cannabis, DeAngelo was a professional actor who aspired to be Jack Nicholson, and does a convincing Joker laugh.

Cannabis pioneer, co-founder of the non-profit medical cannabis dispensary Harborside, Weed Wars reality TV star and Forbes Contributor Andrew DeAngelo speaks about a variety of topics related to plant medicine and cannabis legislation. One of his most passionate advocacy positions is to free every prisoner that has been incarcerated unjustly for cannabis and in many places where it has been decriminalized or in fact now even legal through the Last Prisoner Project. His mission stems from a very personal family experience and it conveys how our personal experiences fuel an unrelenting persistence to advocate for change. Andrew is an exceptional individual who has made it his mission in life to help others navigate the confusing regulations and commercial aspects around cannabis. Andrew has an important call to action for all of us on ways to get involved from the grassroots education, to voting, to personal entrepreneurship. Even if you may not believe in cannabis decriminalization personally, I ask that you keep your mind open as Andrew provides a powerful playbook on how to have a successful advocacy and involvement program in how to invoke change on any single issue that you might be very passionate about currently in today's very polarizing cultural and political climate. Andrew's is cannabis, and after you listen to our discussion, I believe you'll understand why exactly.

Cannabis pioneer, Andrew DeAngelo, joins Madison to discuss psychedelics, conscious capitalism and how 'California sober' is harm reduction."I like the term 'California Sober' because it's a little more operational than 'harm reduction,' it's more appealing to people. We need to brand responsible intoxicant use in a fun way, and Cali Sober does that... I think this may present a little bit of a different operating system for sobriety that people can embrace." – Andrew DeAngeloAndrew DeAngelo is a unique leader who builds organizations from the ground up. He is the co-founder of Harborside Inc, a publicly traded cannabis company. He is the co-founder and current chair of the board of directors for the non-profit, Last Prisoner Project. And he is the co-founder of the trade organization, California Cannabis Industry Association. In addition, Andrew is one of the few people to have owned and operated cannabis companies in the legacy, medical, and adult-use markets on both coasts of the United States. As an activist for the last 35 years, Andrew helped legalize medical and adult-use cannabis in California and Washington, D.C – a true pioneer in the industry.

Andrew DeAngelo is a cannabis legend. He began his career in weed selling pot to his peers illegally, which ironically funded his activist efforts as he fought for legal medical cannabis in San Francisco and Washington D.C. However, when his brother Steve got busted for weed, Andrew had to pivot his passions but ultimately life led him back to this little plant. The DeAngelo brothers had a vision for a more inclusive and welcoming cannabis industry, and with this in mind opened the iconic legal dispensary Harborside in Oakland, California. To further his impact in the space, Andrew also co-founded the Last Prisoner Project to help support those serving time for cannabis crimes and return them rightfully home to their families.

Andrew DeAngelo is in the house! As all of you good people know, we are in the middle of a great re-awakening for one of the most beautiful, useful, and maligned plants in the history of the planet. I am talking, of course, about the Cannabis plant and our recent guest is a true warrior in the fight to bring the majestic plant back to the acceptance, use and availability that it deserves. Not only is he making a difference on a go forward, but he has been righting the egregious wrongs of people being incarcerated for simply enjoying mother nature. We talked about his favorite strains, the state of the Legal Cannabis industry in CA, the noble efforts of the @lastprisonerproject, how NFL players should be allowed to use cannabis without any punitive actions, the perfect dosage for edibles (what is it?), our shared fond memories of the early 90s Hemp movement, UFOs and the unmistakable link between music and cannabis among many other topics (he also gives a few free Pro Tips!) It was a pleasure to have him on the show and I hope you all enjoyed the conversation as much as we did!

He also branched off to form his own consultancy business, and Forbes even included Andrew in its list of “The Top 5 Cannabis Industry Consultants You Need to Know”. Business aside, Andrew has also harnessed his visionary leadership to enact social change through the Last Prisoner Project.
Groundbreaking cannabis activist and consultant Andrew DeAngelo has been a key actor in the legalization of this industry. This week on OIP he talks to Tom and Drea about his personal connection with cannabis on both sides of the law and his commitment to redressing past and continuing injustices through The Last Prisoner Project, a non-profit organization he co-founded with his brother. They also discuss the use of the arts and culture to remove the stigma that still looms large over marijuana use. His deep conviction to social change and his willingness to make personal sacrifices are an inspiring reminder that grassroots activism starts from within.

In this episode I interview Andrew DeAngelo. Andrew is a visionary leader with a proven track record of enacting systemic social change and developing best practices in cannabis — he is the very definition of a trailblazer and someone who has proudly walked the road less traveled.During his almost 13-year tenure at Harborside, where he currently serves as an advisor, Andrew has pioneered legal cannabis business processes and provided groundbreaking political engagement and thought leadership to the cannabis community. Andrew also lends his vast cannabis business and political expertise as a consultant for hire to the global community at large, including several strategic partnerships with the world's leading cannabis-centric service firms.Andrew led the design and development of gold-standard cannabis retail by innovating many “firsts” for the industry. These include: introducing CBD medicines to heal severely epileptic children as documented in Discovery Channel's Weed Wars, implementing the first lab-testing program in the history of cannabis dispensing, creating child-resistant packaging for edibles, standardizing inventory tracking, initiating senior outreach, and successfully preventing the federal government from seizing Harborside in forfeiture actions against the company in 2012.Andrew is co-founder and Chairperson of the Board for the non-profit Last Prisoner Project (LPP). LPP's mission is to free and re-integrate all cannabis prisoners on earth into mainstream society. Since its inception in 2019, LPP has successfully re-integrated the formerly incarcerated and 2020 will be the year LPP frees its first constituent. Andrew is also a founding Board of Directors member of the California Cannabis Industry Association (CCIA), the premier cannabis industry trade association in California, where he served from 2013 to 2020 building the organization from zero to 500 member companies. CCIA continues to represent the industry in California as it works on reforming Prop 64 to improve the legal and regulatory framework for cannabis trade throughout the state. Graduating with honors from Chapman University with a BFA degree in Communications & Theatre, Andrew began his political career as an activist while studying for his MFA in acting at the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco. Over two decades as an activist, Andrew worked on a variety of voter initiatives which legalized medical and adult-use cannabis in San Francisco, Washington D.C, and the State of California. Andrew and his brother Steve recently formed DeAngelo Brothers Productions (DAB), which intends to produce, support, and distribute cannabis content over a variety of mediums and platforms. DAB's mission is “to create new mythologies for cannabis in pop culture, smashing the stigma of the lazy stoner and replacing it with fresh and positive representations of cannabis in society.”As a speaker, Andrew has appeared at the MJBusiness Daily Conference in Las Vegas, ICBC, NCIA conferences in Chicago/Boston/San Jose, Emerald Conference, and the U.S Cannabis Conference in Miami. Andrew is scheduled to present at 2020 conferences across the globe. Courses on cannabis business training led by Andrew are available online through Green Flower Media.

Andrew De Angelo is cannabis advocate and entrepreneur. He is co-founder and advisor to pioneering cannabis company. Andrew has also worked on a variety of voter initiatives which legalized medical and adult use cannabis. I caught up with Andrew at the NCIA Cannabis Business Summit in San Francisco to find out about his latest business venture as a consultant to cannabis companies. Companies come to him to figure out how to get liscensed, raise money, and grow their business. Here's what he tells them.
Chef Jordan rings in the new year with cannabis royalty, Andrew Deangelo. Andrew discusses his time as a Film and theatre teacher at college, his upbringing, the creation of the LPP, the Last Prisoner Project and mental health.
"40,000 people are in prison for doing the same thing that we are doing every day". For most of the country, cannabis legalization is creating enormous opportunities. Unfortunately, many of the people responsible for creating this opportunity can not capitalize on it because they are in prison. Industry veteran and co-founder of The Last Prisoner Project, Andrew DeAngelo joins co-hosts Ross O'Brien and Maggie Kelly from Bonaventure Equity to explain how they're addressing the inequities caused by the war on drugs.

On this episode of Cannabis Tech Talks, your host and Editor-in-Chief of Cannabis & Tech Today Charles Warner is joined by cannabis activist & industry pioneer Andrew DeAngelo. DeAngelo shares how he launched one of the first legal cannabis dispensaries in the world, Harborside in Oakland, CA, with his brother and cannabis revolutionary Steve DeAngelo. Together, they conceived and implemented many cannabis industry standards, such as lab testing and child-safe packaging. He shares his experience as an activist for patient rights and details how everyone can get involved with one of his current projects: The Last Prisoner Project. The non-profit works to redress the past and continuing harms of unjust imprisonments for non-violent cannabis offenders. LPP was founded out of the belief that if anyone is able to profit and build wealth in the legal cannabis industry, those individuals must also work to release and rebuild the lives of those who have suffered from cannabis criminalization.

The Green Repeal - A Guide to Cannabis Marketing & Advertising
Huge amounts of wealth have been created for entrepreneurs and businesses seeing success in the cannabis industry today. However, there are still many people all over the country incarcerated for cannabis-related offenses, and there is so much work to be done as we reckon with the legacy of cannabis prohibition. Andrew Deangelo has spent decades of his life working to address both of these issues. He's the co-founder of Harborside Health and part of the Board of Directors at the California Cannabis Industry Association. Perhaps most critically, he's also the co-founder of the Last Prisoner Project, which is laser-focused on getting cannabis prisoners out of jail and reintegrated into society through jobs, training, and housing. Today, Andrew joins the podcast to share stories about coming up in the nascent cannabis industry, why it was so hard to be a champion of cannabis over the last 30 years without getting arrested, and the power of storytelling to make change in our world. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why the frameworks surrounding cannabis regulation and taxation need to be improved - and how a lack of interstate industry creates massive inefficiencies and redundancies. How the United States can end “Prohibition 2.0,” stop its war on the gray market, work with its legacy, and create a large, thriving legal market. What can be done to help those hit hardest by the war on drugs to build businesses - and how prior convictions create a series of neverending red tape and setbacks. The parallel barriers across the alcohol and cannabis industries - and the systems in place that lead to legal monopolies in both. Why Andrew believes we're still very far from full federal legalization.

Show Notes: Welcome back, this is ep. 112. Later I'm talking to Andrew DeAngelo from the Last Prisoner Project. No Cannabis Garden 101 this week. But first I want to say happy father's day to all of my fellow dads. I saw a show on Netflix, it was a cannabis cooking show, called Cooked with Cannabis. Strain of the Week: Nepalese - Nepalese refers to any strain that grows natively in the Nepal region. Citrus and lavender but hints of earth, wood, and flowers are also common. Given that it's a pure sativa strain, Nepalese is a heavy hitting flower that made me chatty and left me dumbstruck on occasion. That intro on last week's show was because of this weed. The come down was pretty smooth most times but it could give you couchlock and put you to bed early if you're not careful.
