Question

Answer 1

I wish to become a leading force in medical cannabis ethics and philosophy. The goal being to help formulate regulations, research and conversations that are well thought out, sustainable and keep all parties involved with this medicine in mind.

I have had personal experiences with both the medical benefits of cannabis as well as cancer patients near and dear to me who desperately could have benefited from medical cannabis but were in a place of fear due to the legality and false narratives of the time.

I will attempt to push the envelope in regards to asking the tough questions to the people that we, people of all backgrounds, need the answers from the most.

End game goals will be to shift the national and perhaps global perspective of this plant as a potential medicine. As well as fund research which deconstructs the prohibitionist narratives that have been pushed on most of the world for some time using scientific practices that transcend any individuals agenda. To mend humanities connection with this medicinal plant in a way in which the ethics all out on the table for everyone to understand and take part in.
