Toker Poker
Born out of necessity for the community of cannabis tokers, Toker Poker created the perfect lifestyle accessory. Owners Matt and Leslie realized that resin coated lighters and the endless search for paperclips could no longer be the norm. The first Toker Pokers were Macgyvered out of hot glue, bobby pins, and acrylic paint, and Matt and Leslie soon realized the convenience they had created. This Colorado-based small business recently expanded their collection with hemp plastic and added a bottle opener to the design, making the ultimate multi tool even more useful and sustainable too!

Last Prisoner Project
The Last Prisoner Project (LPP) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to cannabis-related criminal justice reform. As the United States moves away from the criminalization of cannabis, giving rise to a major new industry, there remains the fundamental injustice inflicted upon those who have suffered under America’s unjust policy of cannabis prohibition. Through intervention, advocacy and awareness campaigns, the Last Prisoner Project works to redress the past and continuing harms of these inhumane and ineffective laws and policies.
Root for Hemp is a proud member of Last Prisoner Project’s “Partners for Freedom” program. When you shop from our Merch on a Mission collection, $1 of every item sold is donated directly to Last Prisoner Project.
