Abstract
For more than a decade I fought for my life. At the peak of my illnesses, I was suffering from an enlarged heart, high blood pressure, morbid obesity (I weight nearly 400 pounds), sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and several other issues leading to a cancer scare. Following doctors’ orders, I went through two operations. The last of which five places in my throat had been removed. After watching friends and family pass away from similar health issues I searched for other ways to heal myself and I found plant medicines. Literally, cannabis saved my life! Dismayed that such plant medicines were illegal or restricted was too much for me to bear. My path became clear. It was time for the truth to be told. I sought out to create positive change. As soon as I was well enough, I grabbed a camera and started documenting the legalization, regulation, and the removal of medical cannabis in Washington state. I've shot hundreds of hours about cannabis and other plant medicines, traveling all over interviewing and documenting doctors, scientist, researchers, patients, and the US politics system. All this work has led to me traveling nationally and internationally sharing what I've learned.
The journey gave me a unique opportunity to observe and learn from so many folks over the last several years. Watching these people change and seeing new information come to light about this amazing plant has been truly inspiring. Join me as I share a small amount of the knowledge that I have acquired. My presentation will include short segments from amazing cannabis presenters such as Brian Two Feathers, Dakota’s Nation spiritual leader, Dr. Mechoulam, Dr. Makriyannis, Dr. Heart, Dr. Sue Sisley. Kevin McKernan, Dr. Sunil Aggarwal, Dr. Ethan Russo, and a few other amazing stories of how cannabis has changed and saved lives. Cannabis is truly a wonderous plant that can help us with our mind, body, and spirit. Much of the video I've captured no one has ever seen and I am very excited to share the stories and the important information I've captured to help create the positive change we wish to see in this world.
