Great job! Your story is inspirational. ❤
cannabis incarceration is racist. Glad this guy got through that and has work.
That’s ridiculous.
@@toothdoc6615what’s ridiculous
I'm Latino myself, but I had several white homeboys get in legal trouble due to weed. Some even felonies since Cannabis isn't decriminalized in Texas. Racist?! 😂😂😂 What you meant to say it's classist. Draconian drug laws affect white people too. Our nation's narcotics laws affect those in poverty more, and that includes EVERYONE in poverty.
@@IceBuckets305calling it racist lmfao. It is ridiculous.
Thank you for feeding all the drunk people of Anchorage now THAT'S an important job! 😂
Where is that barber shop? I live in Anchorage but don’t recognize the shop?
Cool maybe I will bring my girlfriends out to eat.
Inspiring story, and lets not forget...there are people still catching felonies and going to federal prison for just possessing small amounts of cannabis in the United States.
This guy serve 8 years for selling a plant that's used as medicine. Fuck the system man.
They owe you financially, now that they're making money too from selling weed
Those teeth more yellow than his chains.
