Motivated to better understand the biochemistry and pros vs. cons of cannabis consumption, Samuel completed a Bachelor of Science in chemistry in May of 2020 and is currently completing a Master of Science in Chemistry. Unfortunately, in August of 2017, Samuel became a cannabis prisoner. On August 4, 2024, after spending 10 months in prison and the remaining time on parole, he completed a 6-year prison sentence for possession of cannabis. This experience has renewed and strengthened his desire to end cannabis prohibition, to help himself and others with similar or harsher sentences, and to prevent anyone else from ever experiencing the unnecessary harm caused by prohibition. Through tutoring, mentoring, and criminal justice reform advocacy, Samuel has been involved in the community for many years, working tirelessly to make it a better place.
