As the founder of Iowans for Medical Marijuana and a lifelong member of the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church, Carl Olsen’s activism stretches across legal, political, and spiritual lines. His journey offers vital lessons for anyone committed to ending global hemp prohibition, legalizing medical cannabis, and expanding access to recreational marijuana.
Olsen’s story begins in 1978, with a high-profile arrest in West Liberty, Iowa, where police found 129 pounds of marijuana in his car. While the state labeled him a criminal, Olsen saw himself as a constitutional challenger. That early confrontation with the law was just the beginning. Instead of backing down, he leaned into the system, launching a lifelong campaign to reform outdated drug policies.
