Karly Cramer says jail completely changed the way she looked at incarceration.

After being sentenced to six months, she says what shocked her most wasn’t being locked up herself.

It was the people around her.

Karly describes seeing a revolving door of people struggling with mental illness and addiction, and says she became horrified by how many of them seemed to need treatment instead of another trip through jail.

Her takeaway:

“Jail has become a mental institution.”

That experience ultimately became a huge part of why Karly now advocates for people caught inside the criminal justice system.

Karly Cramer says this is exactly why she can’t walk away from the work she does now.

Parker Coleman was 24 years old when his case began.

Karly says he went to trial and was sentenced to 60 years in federal prison.

And in this clip, Parker says it himself:

“My name is Parker Antron Coleman, and I’m serving a 60-year sentence for trafficking and conspiracy. I am a nonviolent offender.”

He says he’s been incarcerated since 2010.

Whatever your opinion is on marijuana laws, sentencing, or the justice system, 60 years is a number that makes you stop and think.

This is a huge part of why Karly created Jailed for Weed and why she continues bringing attention to people serving extreme sentences.

Karly Cramer was a struggling single mom trying to keep life moving.

Then she found a side hustle delivering weed.

What started with $6,600 and six pounds eventually turned into something much bigger — until she was caught with 100 pounds of marijuana and $22,000 in cash.

But the wildest part of Karly’s story isn’t just how she got into it.

It’s what happened after.

Jail changed the way she saw addiction, mental health, punishment, and the people still sitting behind bars for marijuana offenses. Now, through Jailed for Weed, she’s trying to bring attention to the stories most people never hear.

This episode goes from shocking to heartbreaking really fast.

420 was supposed to mean freedom, culture, and cannabis community. But while people celebrate legalization, some people are still sitting in federal prison for nonviolent 🌱 cases. This 4/20, remember the men and women left behind by the war on weed. No one should still be in prison for 🌱 in 2026.

We can celebrate 4/20 and still demand justice.

Max Leidermann is facing a life sentence in a federal 🌱 case and has already been detained for nearly three years without a conviction.

He was arrested in Los Angeles in 2023 and transferred to Nebraska — a state he had never been to and has no ties to.

In this video, Max explains his situation in his own words.

What a great first full day in Vegas we had! First off, @beardbrospharms x @mjbizdaily x @nuwulv Media Day was a hit! We had a fantastic audience, a wonderful panel, insightful speakers, and the crew at NuWu and MJBiz could not have been more on point and helpful!

Of course the usual amount of fun was had but it was also excellent to be speaking with so many people about their businesses, the state of the industry, and so much more.

After Media Day, we stopped by @flowerhire’s “Smoke and Magic” event, produced by the incredible @amirosie of @radiantjpros. Great food, great people, and a bunch of fun activations.

Then we finished up the night at the “Light Up Las Vegas” event hosted by @fatnugsmagazine and @pufcreativ for more excellent conversations, fun activations (including the incredible “Faces of Cannabis with @derrallpeachphotography).

So happy to see so many amazing people, events, and businesses also supporting @freedomgrowforever. Couldn’t be more thrilled to see Freedom Grow growing.

Today is Day One of the conference and there are a ton of exciting events throughout the day and evening. We’re definitely looking forward to it all!

You could hear a pin drop when Rose said her son has done more time than people who hurt others.

We spent time with Frank’s story, not just his case file.

Twelve years in on a nonviolent cannabis conviction, 50+ programs completed, a job and a bed waiting, and a mother who wants her son home for dinner, not a 15-minute call.

This isn’t a debate about headlines.

It’s about whether our actions match the values we brag about.

We met the family, listened to the call, and laid out the plan that starts the day he walks out. If you were in that room, you’d feel the same pull.

What part of this hits you first, the time he’s served or the life waiting for him?

Read the full piece and tell us why.

💌 COMMISSARY DAY IS HERE! 💚

Freedom Grow is proud to announce that $15,000 in commissary funds is heading out TODAY to our cannabis POWs! ✉️💚 Each of the 300 people on our outreach list will receive $50, a little light and love sent straight into the dark cells where it’s needed most.

🎥 In this video, you’ll see volunteer, Tracie Gloor-Pike, our amazing Commissary Coordinator, carefully writing each money order by hand — and preparing to mail them out today! Thanks to Mitzi Wall (our Wish Coordinator) for sending all the online payments!

📬 Huge thanks to the POW who generously pays for all the stamps for each money order, and to our incredible volunteers, Karly Cramer, Danielle Muggli, and Bobi Peavy, who work tirelessly every month to keep our outreach list accurate, verify charges, update addresses, and transition our friends off the list when they come home. Your dedication makes this program possible. 💚

🌿 We are deeply grateful to our sponsors who make this all possible, Sweeds, Vlasic, Matrix, and RAW - your major contributions helped make this round of commissary a reality. And to the Beard Bros (Bill and Jeff Levers) and Randy Lanier, thank you for constantly helping us raise these crucial funds.

💚 And to every single person who donates and volunteers - large or small - please know that you are part of this. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps bring comfort and hope to those still behind bars.

And of course, thank you to our Executive Director, Kristin Flor, for organizing this program and helping to distribute these funds to our cannabis prisoners with care and dedication.

Because Freedom Grow operates with very little overhead, the vast majority of every dollar donated goes directly to support cannabis prisoners, where it’s needed most.

Travis Cullen sits down with Ferrell Scott, who was once serving a life sentence for cannabis before President Trump granted him clemency.

Ferrell actually did time with Parker Coleman, who’s still stuck with a 60-year sentence for cannabis. 💔

Parker’s already spent nearly 15 years behind bars. Ferrell says if Trump heard Parker’s story, he’d let him go.

No one belongs in a cage for a plant 🌱✨

The War on Drugs is one of the most visceral attacks on human liberty and individual sovereignty in modern society. Even today, despite cannabis being quasi-legal in the majority of the country, there are close to 3000 people serving long term or life sentences for cannabis charges at the federal level and countless more good people behind bars at the state and local levels.

I had the honor of spending Cannabis Prisoners Day of Unity with some amazing humans who had decades of their life stolen from them by unjust laws and—after receiving pardons from President Trump—have turned right back around to fight for real policy change and help free every cannabis prisoner still languishing in the criminal injustice system.

I was on the verge of tears listening to how a man who spent 38 years of a life sentence for cannabis walked out of prison on the day of his pardon and the first thing he saw was a spotlighted billboard for a cannabis dispensary just down the street from the cage he’d been in for longer than I’ve been alive. His story, sadly, was not a unique one.

Thank you to @activisttravis for cultivating such a powerful event and for using your own difficult experience to fuel your fiery dedication to the cause. Seeing your work and hearing from some of those who have been most cruelly impacted by prohibition was deeply inspiring and such an incredible reminder of why I do the work I do.

The War on Drugs is a War on Us, but I am so glad to be fighting against it with all of you.
