The day of Stevens’ release from maximum security prison
The Story
“His spine is bent, and breathing labored. Muscular dystrophy slowly makes its way through his body, shutting down muscle after muscle. But his confinement to a maximum-security state prison on a low-level drug charge for 15 years to life was equally contorting.” - Terrence Stevens, Founder
Terrence Stevens aka IRONSYDZ personifies human suffering from the US’ trillion-dollar failed War on Drugs. He was sentenced to 15-years-to-life for a nonviolent drug offense and served 10 years in a maximum security prison before receiving clemency from former New York Gov. George Pataki in 2001. In prison, he received substandard and inadequate medical care. He required aassistance with feeding, bathing, being lifted in and out of bed, and turned from side to side every two hours during the night to ease respiratory complications. Upon release from prison in 2001, Terrence joined other activists pushing for drug law reform and dedicated himself to helping others . Thanks to their collective effort and unwavering commitment we can all enjoy legal cannibis today.
In 2001, Terrence received a prestigious Echoing Green fellowship thanks to a matching contribution by Massachusetts Humanitarian Peter Greer. This ignited Stevens on a 22-year journey of healing and helping casualties of the injustice system. IRONSYDZ indeterminable spirit of giving and reforming the drug laws led to the founding of his non-profit, In Arms Reach, Inc. , dedicated to breaking the cycle of intergenerational inequality for low-income children and families of NYC, primarily children impacted by parental incarceration, and neighborhoods devastated by mass incarceration.
We are honored and humbled to welcome our company’s Founding Strategic Advisors, Khaliah Ali - daughter of Boxing legend and humanitarian Muhammad Ali, and Jason Flom - music industry executive, podcaster, philanthropist and criminal justice reform icon.
They join Peter Greer, former chairman of In Arms Reach and producer of Unintended Consequences as key supporters of IRONSYDZ and its unique mission.
“Nothing has contributed more to the systematic mass incarceration of people of color in the United States than the War on Drugs.” – Michelle Alexander, The New Jim Crow (2010).
It is estimated less than 2 percent of cannabis profits flow to people of color or other minorities impacted or harmed by the drug laws.
IRONSYDZ is committed to addressing this unintended imbalance of the current cannabis ecosystem.
The IRONSYDZ model recycles ALL PROFITS from cannabis sales back to individuals and communities harmed by the drug war as well as grass roots organizations seeking to repair, rebuild and heal these communities.
In addition we aim to publicize and mobilize social equity brands and collectively work for a more just and equitable system. We will strive to educate the consumer about the importance of social equity in the Cannabis industry.
