Glass House Brands Chief Executive Kyle D. Kazan wants to free those in prison for nonviolent cannabis offenses.
Glass House Brands Inc. GLASF, -6.48% Chief Executive Kyle D. Kazan differs from most chief executives of cannabis companies because he worked for years in law enforcement as a former and currently retired Torrance, Calif., police officer.
It makes no sense that federal officials continue to keep people in jail for cannabis, while legal marijuana companies handle enough cannabis in a day to lock someone up for years, Kazan said in a video on social media. The video was made last year when Kazan voiced support for Jose Valero Jr., 25, in a court hearing that resulted in a sentence of seven years in federal prison for cannabis offenses.
The number of marijuana-trafficking offenders that faced federal sentencing totaled 806 people in 2022, according to data from the U..S. Sentencing Commission. In 2022, the average sentence for marijuana trafficking was 34 months, or just under three years. To be sure, the number of marijuana trafficking offenders has fallen from 2,118 in 2018.
Glass House Brands GLASF, -6.48% is among the cannabis companies to support the Mission Green Alliance to promote individual clemencies among the U.S. population of roughly 3,000 people who are currently incarcerated for federal cannabis convictions, most of them on low-level distribution charges.
