I'm going to quibble about your word choice. There is something disturbing about the fact that people are still rotting in jail, not that Ease raised money.

Those people should not be in jail, and eaze is doing well to raise money. The former does not make the latter disturbing.

Yes, it does. Priorities are disturbing. This doesn't happen by chance.

The people who gave Eaze funding aren't the people who put low-level drug dealers in jail.
They might be, as there are tons of money invested into prisons: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jun/16/us-prisons-j...
I don't see how a company whose existence works to normalize the use of marijuana is a priority unaligned with that of decriminalizing and clemency for those incarcerated for posession.
