Welcome to the Spring Issue of Cannabis by the Sea Magazine!
As we enter our 5th year of publication, we have to take a look back at all of the amazing people we have had the privilege of meeting and who have shared their story with us. It started with the inaugural issue on 4/20/20 when we were first introduced to Dr. Margaret Peterson — one of the most desired and respected physicians in the area of functional and integrated medicine.
In Issue 2 we met Dee Dee Kirkwood, aka the Pot Fairy, and her efforts to bring to light the number of people serving life sentences in prison for nonviolent cannabis crimes. Dee Dee later introduced us to Michael Thompson who spent 25 years in prison for selling three pounds of pot. Had it not been for the Last Prisoner Project as well as the continued efforts of Dee Dee and other individuals dedicated to getting him released, he could have spent the remainder of his life behind bars, since his conviction allowed for up to 60 years of confinement.
In our Spring 2021 issue we featured an interview with Todd Scattini — a West Point graduate, Global CEO of Harvest 360 LLC, and creator of the Athena Protocol, a strategy to mitigate and treat traumatic brain injury (TBI). Todd conceptualized using cannabis to treat TBI victims after the loss of a fellow Army officer and close friend, who sustained a TBI in combat.
Our Summer 2022 issue we introduced you to Sister Kate and the Sisters of the Valley — and speaking for us, we would never be the same! If you don't know about the Sisters of the Valley and their story, I highly encourage you to read the article. You'll find it on our website along with all of our past issues. In addition to great interviews, you'll also find amazing recipes, product recommendations, and helpful advice!
As always, thank you for your support of Cannabis by the Sea Magazine . . . just by reading, you are supporting. We look forward to continuing to introduce you to more amazing people, and, of course, providing you with more information on this amazing plant that we call cannabis.
Keep in touch!
