The legal cannabis and hemp industries are flourishing. However, while growth potential and profits in these sectors are rapidly increasing, there are still roughly 40,000 people incarcerated for nonviolent cannabis related offenses today - a disproportionate number of whom belong to the BIPOC community. In 2020, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) reported that Black Americans are 3.6 times more likely to get arrested for cannabis “crimes" than their white counterparts. Today, as we balance on the brink of federal legality, it is more important than ever to advocate for, and bring focus to, those harmed most by the War on Drugs. 


As a social impact brand,
40Tons prides itself on standing apart from the pack by actively (and continuously) practicing what we preach. We are unwavering in our mission to provide second chances to those with past cannabis convictions. And it is our belief that anyone profiting from, or participating in, these industries has a duty to advocate for social equity, restorative justice, and continued support for those who paved the path through prohibition.

This is why we have partnered with Owls Oil to create a line of high-quality hemp derived D8/D9 Gummies that honor individuals that have been, or are currently, incarcerated because of cannabis. In an impressive show of support, Luke Gavin, founder and CEO of Owls, has pledged 15% of the proceeds from this collab to our #freethe40k initiative. With this partnership, we hope to expand our reach as we push towards a more equitable and impactful future.

About Owls Oil & Our Partnership

Since 2019, Owls Oil has positioned themselves as a premium D8/hemp company focused on creating quality products through sustainable business practices to better the community. While the hemp industry has been historically unregulated, products from Owls Oil are tested regularly, at multiple testing centers, to ensure quality and consistency. Owls is on a mission to increase access to plant medicine and education by giving people a legal way to experience the benefits of hemp derived D8/D9 THC. 


Like most great things in this industry, our partnership with Owls Oil began organically. In 2021, Anthony, of 40Tons, happened to meet Luke Gavin, the owner of Owls, at the Las Vegas Secret/Haze Cup. The two connected over the 40Tons mission, and a seed was planted. After a year of working together behind the scenes, we are excited to solidify this partnership with the launch of the Owls x 40Tons D8/D9 gummies collab. These delicious
hemp derived edibles are available in 5 flavors and contain an impressive amount of cannabinoids: 900mg D8 (delta-8) and 300mg D9 (delta-9) per package. That’s 15mg of psychoactive cannabinoids per gummy! 


In a recent interview, Luke Gavin said, “We are in this for the long term fight…it is important to make sure we don’t forget about the injustices…there is a lot of heart in this industry, and the magic comes when we are able to connect with like-minded people, while helping those who have honestly has a lot of trauma around cannabis to heal. By normalizing cannabis/hemp use, and creating ways for these individuals to
engage in the industry, we are helping people to overcome the obstacles that have been unnecessarily thrown in their way.”

When asked about his decision to donate a substantial portion of sales to our efforts Luke replied, “Cannabis has the potential to heal internally, but it is our responsibility (as brands) to find ways to give back. For us, donating 15% of total revenue is the least we can do to acknowledge the pain that has been caused by cannabis prohibition… to help the people who have been ostracized for doing what businesses are making billions of dollars doing every day…This partnership is the embodiment of that ethos.”
