40 Tons and Minny Grown Forge Groundbreaking Partnership to Advance Social Equity in Minnesota

In a landmark move that epitomizes the fusion of commerce and social justice, 40 Tons, a leader in mission-driven cannabis initiatives, has joined forces with Minnesota's cannabis innovator, Minny Grown. This partnership marks the launch of 40 Tons’ first direct-to-consumer THC product line in Minnesota, featuring a selection of uniquely flavored delta-9 THC gummies: Root Beer, Sour Lemonade, Mango Orange, and Mojito.

This collaboration not only showcases 40 Tons’ innovative spirit but also underlines its commitment to advancing real social equity within the cannabis sector. Founded amidst personal adversity and shaped by the injustices of the War on Drugs, 40 Tons has consistently pushed beyond mere advocacy to effect tangible social change. "Our flavors are a tribute to the unconventional paths that justice-impacted individuals tread. Each product we create carries a piece of our story, a story of resilience," stated Loriel Alegrete, CEO of 40 Tons.

The partnership debut in Minnesota is a continuation of 40 Tons’ strategic expansion, following significant contributions to social justice in the cannabis industry across multiple states, including a notable presence in New York alongside HPI Canna. The New York venture has been marked by community-focused initiatives such as recruitment drives and social activism, embedding 40 Tons deeply within the local cannabis culture.

"Our collaboration with Minny Grown is not just about entering a new market. It’s about setting a new standard on how a cannabis business can operate with a conscience," emphasized Zach Rohr, CEO of Minny Grown. Both leaders highlight that this venture extends beyond selling THC products—it’s about creating a supportive network that includes employment opportunities for formerly incarcerated individuals and continuous support for those still affected by cannabis-related legal issues.

With the launch, 40 Tons also introduces a novel letter-writing campaign, inviting consumers to connect with inmates, thereby humanizing and supporting those still ensnared in legal struggles. "We see this as a way to bridge the gap between our consumers and those we aim to help. Every gummy sold supports our broader mission to empower and uplift communities broken by outdated laws," added Corvain Cooper, Chief Brand Ambassador of 40 Tons, marking the date as particularly significant as it coincides with the anniversary of his release from a life sentence due to cannabis.

As 40 Tons and Minny Grown forge ahead with their innovative venture, they not only offer Minnesotans a new way to experience THC but also pioneer a model for integrating social justice into the cannabis industry. The endeavor is a testament to the transformative power of aligned visions in achieving societal betterment through business.
