Luna Stower is a nationally recognized cannabis advocate, educator, and industry strategist with more than 20 years of experience spanning legacy cultivation, drug policy reform, public education, and regulated-market leadership. Raised in the Northern California cannabis community and trained as a social justice educator, Luna has dedicated her career to building the policy, cultural, and educational frameworks that support safe, equitable, and responsible cannabis access.

Luna’s advocacy roots run deep. As a longtime member of Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) and NORML, she supported early decriminalization campaigns, youth education initiatives, and statewide policy reform. She played a direct role in the entheogen decriminalization efforts in Santa Cruz, Oakland, and San Francisco, contributing to the national momentum behind psychedelic policy change and community-driven drug reform.

Her policy leadership also includes serving on the San Francisco Cannabis Task Force, where she helped shape some of the earliest municipal cannabis regulations in the country, and participating in the early Social Equity Working Group, which laid the foundation for the equity licensing frameworks that other cities and states later modeled.

Luna currently serves on the National Cannabis Industry Association’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee, helping shape national recommendations on federal policy, equitable licensing, community reinvestment, and industry accountability.

As the former Chief Impact Officer at Ispire (and previously Vice President of Sales), Luna helped position the company as a responsible hardware innovator in cannabis and hemp markets. She led regulatory engagement, industry standards education, and NCIA participation, including representing Ispire in national conversations on hardware safety, youth prevention, and supply-chain transparency. She was also the driving force behind bringing Ispire into NCIA membership, ensuring the company had a meaningful role in federal advocacy.

Her background as a public-school teacher with a Master’s in Urban Education & Social Justice shapes her approach to policy, communication, and community engagement. Luna collaborates with regulators, educators, public health officials, policymakers, and certifying bodies to expand cannabis literacy and advocate for balanced, science-driven regulation that protects consumers and strengthens the industry.

Luna also serves on the boards of several nonprofits and coalitions, including Compassionate Veterans (formerly Operation EVAC), Sweetleaf Patients Group, This Is Jane Project, The Cannabis Trail (501c3), and the VapeSafer Coalition (501c6), supporting trauma-informed care, patient access, cannabis heritage preservation, and national consumer safety standards.

Across every role, Luna champions equitable federal reform, standardized safety frameworks, legacy preservation, consumer protection, social impact, and culturally competent policy. Her work is grounded in the belief that legalization must uplift the communities that built this movement, ensure small and legacy operators have a meaningful seat at the table, and move the national cannabis industry toward a future rooted in justice, transparency, and public education.
