If you’ve ever set foot in Jamaica, you already know how special that island is. I lived there for years, and the people who poured into me back then are now rebuilding their lives after Hurricane Melissa wiped out homes, farms, and small businesses.

I’m asking you—person to person—to help us Return to the Roots and Begin Again.

Even a small contribution will go straight to families and farmers I know personally who are trying to recover and rebuild.

If Jamaica ever gave you a memory, a moment, or a feeling you carry with you, I’m asking you to give something back.

Thank you for standing with us. Jamaica always finds a way forward—let’s help them do it a little faster.

Running a cannabis business takes resourcefulness — especially when it comes to accessing capital.
Banks hesitate. Regulations complicate everything. Meanwhile, the industry keeps growing.

So I’ve been digging into financial tools that actually work for cannabis entrepreneurs.

And here’s one most people overlook:
👉🏾 Life insurance as a source of business capital.

I’m hosting a short session breaking down how modern policies build cash value, provide liquidity, protect partners, and support long-term business strategy — all in a way that makes sense for our industry.

If you own or manage a cannabis business, or you’re just trying to understand smarter financial options, this one’s for you.

📅 Nov. 25th @ 12PM EST
🎟️ Free to attend
🔗 DM for registration link.

Bonus: I’ll also share details on an exclusive college scholarship program available through my insurance network — a real benefit for business owners, employees, and families.

Let’s build with the tools that are finally available to us.

PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November 6, 2025

From Advocacy to Action: Ganjactivist.com Launches UpInYears.life for Cannabis Financial Empowerment.

Los Angeles, CA — November 6, 2025 — Ganjactivist.com, widely known for its advocacy, industry education, and cultural leadership in the global cannabis space, today announced the launch of UpInYears.life, a new financial services platform designed to unlock wealth, protection, and long-term stability for cannabis entrepreneurs, workers, and consumers.

For nearly a decade, Ganjactivist.com has championed fair access, equity, and the recognition of legacy operators who helped build the industry long before legalization. With UpInYears.life, that mission evolves from storytelling and advocacy into direct financial action — giving people in cannabis access to strategies and tools traditionally out of reach, including indexed life insurance solutions, capital-building structures, succession planning, and protective business coverage.

“When I learned that insurance can be used as a financial tool, I immediately thought about how this could be beneficial to the cannabis industry.”

— M. Omari Jackson, Founder, UpInYears.life

Launch Webinar: Funding Your Cannabis Business with Life Insurance

To mark the launch, UpInYears.life will host its first live session:

“Funding Your Cannabis Business with Life Insurance.”

This webinar breaks down how modern life insurance strategies — including indexed universal life (IUL) and key person coverage — can be used to help entrepreneurs access capital, stabilize operations, and build long-term financial strength in a sector where traditional banking barriers still exist.

Registration is now open on EventHi:

“It starts with education. You can’t know what you don’t know. So we’ll teach them.”

— M. Omari Jackson

UpInYears.life will offer webinars, educational content, financial tools, and one-on-one strategy sessions tailored for cannabis professionals, with the goal of helping them transition from surviving today to building sustainable legacies for tomorrow.

This expansion marks Ganjactivist.com's continued commitment to uplifting the cannabis community — not just through advocacy, but through meaningful pathways to wealth, security, and empowerment.

The Legal & General U.S. Gig Economy Study (recent) found that 73% of gig workers expect Social Security to cover 25% of their retirement expenses — which suggests a weak confidence in their own savings options or lack of better alternatives.

Finding life and health insurance shouldn’t be complicated—but for cannabis consumers and entrepreneurs, it often is. Traditional insurance companies still treat cannabis use as a red flag, leading to higher premiums, denied applications, or limited coverage. At Ganjactivist.com, we believe cannabis shouldn’t be a barrier to protecting your health, your income, or your family’s future.

Why Cannabis-Friendly Insurance Matters:

For Consumers: Whether you use cannabis recreationally or for medical reasons, you deserve access to affordable health coverage and life insurance that won’t penalize you.

For Business Owners: Your employees are your greatest asset. Offering group health and life benefits not only attracts top talent—it shows you’re committed to their wellbeing.

Life Insurance & Cannabis Use: The stigma is real: many insurers treat cannabis like to***co or “substance abuse.” But things are changing. Cannabis-friendly policies exist that can help you:

Protect your family with term or permanent life insurance. Build tax-advantaged wealth and legacy through products like Indexed Universal Life (IUL).

Secure fair rates as a cannabis consumer without hiding your use.

Let's talk about life.

When you hit your 30s, life starts moving fast. Career momentum picks up. Bills get real. Maybe you’ve got a partner, a kid, or just a better sense of where you’re headed.

And somewhere between the student loans and that first “real” salary, you realize: it’s time to start thinking about life insurance.

Let's talk strategy.
