How Cannabis Prohibition Destroyed my Family
I first uploaded this important mini-documentary (which contains older footage from 2015) in late 2018, as I recovered from the fallout of my grandmother's death and the breakup of my once happy family. It provides an intimate look at how the prohibition of a safe medicinal and recreational plant has torn one strong Canadian family to pieces. It was heavily censored on YouTube (as cannabis knowledge often is). Thank you 3Speak for providing another way to get this story out, which may help others who have gone through something similar.
Cannabis prohibition impacts everybody differently. It has harmed me and those I love in so many ways, for so many years, I've lost count. It also harms society broadly, by fostering disrespect for the law, and through massive waste of resources. One of my most important missions is to completely eradicate cannabis prohibition, one of the greatest sources of harm in our world.
This video 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.

Plenty of great comments on the original upload (which is available here).
Some great pics take me down memory lane! Some good times, mmm Grama's garden was impressive, I almost forget these were pics you took, and not from a gardening magazine. Can't wait for jackolanterns again! :)
It's easy to forget how much time and effort goes into creating original content of high quality. Most people have no idea what it takes.
Cannabis prohibition has done so much damage to so many people, and to society as a whole. It's disgusting that in Canada, "legalization" wasn't about ending prohibition, and in fact has made it even worse.
Sorry to hear about the old dying part of your family that can't seem to evolve. Your Grama would be proud and happy to have you and her other (great)grand children carry on. It looks like you had some wonderful summers and autumns and bountiful harvests.
This is WAY too true for YouTube, just way too true.
Resteemed!
