Carter and his cannabis brand, Monogram, have launched an impressive campaign to raise awareness regarding drug policies throughout the country. The campaign highlights the inherent basis toward marginalized communities within the justice system regarding drug policy.
"The war on drugs worked, if systemic racism was the goal,” one billboard reads.
“Weed is a federal crime, even in the states where sex with farm animals isn’t,” another billboard states.
This campaign is Carter's latest effort to change the cannabis industry for the better. In addition to raising awareness regarding drug laws, he has also worked to increase the representation of marginalized communities within the cannabis industry. Last year, he aligned himself with TPCO to “shape a brighter and inclusive future” within the cannabis industry.
