How Cannabis Prohibition Destroyed My Family
(And made me who I am.)
This post has actually been brewing for years, awaiting the completion of the story, and the right timing. Thanks to the blockchain, it will live (relatively) forever. It was formed into video format, and hosted on YouTube so that it has more permanency.
This mini-documentary is an intimate look at how the prohibition of a safe medicinal and recreational plant has torn one strong Canadian family to pieces.
It contains images and stories from my life during a time of soaring highs and crushing lows. The public frenzy around cannabis drove my family to do shocking things, resulting in years of suffering and the end of many lifelong relationships.
You'll also see footage taken during that time which couldn't be published until today.
Despite the intimate nature of some of the stories, I'm happy to let my experiences be revealed, if doing so might help anyone's healing. Please share.
Let's do our part to end the prohibition and stigmatization of cannabis!
