About Roger
Volodarsky founded Puffco in 2013 and, through innovation, design, and product integrity, built it into one of the most influential technology brands in the cannabis industry, pioneering modern concentrate vaporization devices such as the Puffco Peak and Peak Pro.
He joined the board out of a commitment to addressing the injustices of cannabis prohibition. Having built a company inside the legal cannabis industry, he has long recognized the gap between the growth of the modern cannabis marketplace and the thousands of people who remain incarcerated for cannabis-related offenses.
His commitment to direct action became clear when he learned of the life-threatening situation facing American basketball player Jarred Shaw, who faced the possibility of the death penalty in Indonesia in connection with a cannabis-related case. Without hesitation, Volodarsky mobilized his resources and network to support humanitarian advocacy aimed at bringing attention to Shaw's situation and supporting a just outcome.
His belief is simple: leaders in the cannabis industry have a responsibility not only to innovate, but also to advocate for those still affected by the legacy of prohibition.
Why He Serves
His leadership and support have strengthened the mission of The Forgotten Prisoner and the broader movement for cannabis justice.
