Smoulder - Medical Marijuana Activist

Why is my medicine illegal?

After meeting Smoulder 2 years ago, a gentleman in every sense of the word, his strength has prompted us to involve him and endeavor to make his arts crafts and dreams come true.

We as a community wish to do more than that, by fund raising $25,000 to build him a home on Ebonwren community in Jiggi, and share his care now and into the future, as friends.

Smoulder has cerebral palsy, is 62 years of age and a Medical Marijuana Activist.

A very modest man and a little hard to understand because of his disability. His medicine of choice - condoned by his doctors... Marijuana.

Smoulder more than most wants to see Cannabis re-legalised. His life free of pain depends on it. Will we see cannabis legal in Smoulder's lifetime? We hope so!
