Luke Scarmazzo Joins Glass House Brands As Lead Brand Ambassador For NorCal

Glass House Brands Inc. GLASF GHBWF GLAS GLAS apointed Luke Scarmazzo as brand ambassador for the NorCal Region.

Scarmazzo was released from federal prison last month after serving 15 years of an unjust 22-year sentence for operating a medical cannabis dispensary under California's Proposition 215 which was passed by voters in 1996. His release was made possible by years of work by attorneys and passionate advocates, including The Weldon Project and Mission Green, both founded and led by Weldon Angelos.

Luke is now a partner at Mission Green and plans to dedicate his energy to advocating on behalf of those serving prison time for nonviolent cannabis convictions in both state and federal prisons and to promoting the responsible use of cannabis.

"I'm extremely grateful to join Glass House Brands as the lead brand ambassador in NorCal," stated Scarmazzo. "My defining passion has always been bringing the benefits of this magnificent plant to as many people as possible. To be able to work with Glass House, who shares my passion for this plant and is so dedicated to helping free the remainder of the people unjustly serving time like me is very special. I'm excited to bring my industry knowledge and resources to Glass House Brands and aim to use my story to bring hope to those who are struggling right now."

Angelos stated, "Luke's story is unique and tragic at the same time. He is finally restarting his life as a free individual, after having his freedom taken from him so many years ago. Employment is so important to those being released from prison, especially for individuals that end up with permanent felonies on their records. Most come out and have difficulty finding jobs to maintain their livelihood and I'm proud to have connected Luke with Kyle who helped him solve this major issue. I was once with Luke behind bars in prison, and words can't express how happy I am to see my friend finally gain his freedom. We are going to join forces to continue fighting to free our friends who are still incarcerated."
