Show notes

In this episode of Martins World i get to chat with Dana Albert Larsen who is a Canadian author, politician and cannabis rights activist. Larsen was the editor of Cannabis Culture magazine from its creation in 1994 until 2005. He was a founding member of the marijuana party of Canada, the BC Marijuana party and also the Vancouver seed bank a business which sells many seed varieties from their storefront and also across Canada by mail-order, including those for banned and controversial psychoactive plants such as cannabis, poppies, peyote and coca.

I first heard of Dana back in 2016 when he started an overgrow the government campaign. This was a campaign of giving cannabis seeds to people who would grow them in an act of Civil Disobedience and over the course of 3 years saw him give away over 10Million cannabis seeds.

Dana runs a cannabis dispensary and also an online/mail order medicinal mushroom dispensary looking after 2000 members. The mushroom dispensary provides micro doses of psilocybin mushrooms to its members in a capsule form.

Martins World Episode 16 with Allison Littlefair author of "Walter and the magic seed" Dec 16, 2020

Show notes

In this interview I get to have a chat with Allison Littlefair who shares her story with me to help raise awareness of the medicinal benefits of cannabis for people with chronic pain. Having competed in gymnastics from a young age she started to expierience pain in her body at the age of 15 began a long journey of treating pain unsuccessfully with tablets for many years. It was about 5 years ago when she first expierienced the benefits of cannabis and hasn't looked back since. She was so blown away by the benefits cannabis brought to her and the many kids in the UK she has now writen a book called "Walter and the magic seed". (buy a copy here https://www.walterandthemagicseed.com/why-walter ). about the book : "Walter is a Wizard on a mission....to spread education and awareness about the cannabis plant and to help his friend Titch, who is suffering from seizures. Younger and older readers alike will enjoy and learn from Walter and his friend Terrance the Troll as they explore the benefits of cannabis and CBD in the hope of giving Titch the quality of life she deserves. Many children across the globe are having to face life threatening daily battles trying to access the right medication to cope with multiple seizures every day. For so many kids - cannabis is the only medicine that can reduce seizures and in a lot of cases stop the seizures from occurring altogether, without all of the nasty side effects caused by pharmaceutical drugs. Cannabis medications are supposedly legal now here in the Uk, however nobody can or will prescribe it, leaving parents having to break the law and often spend thousands of pounds to gain access from countries where it is legal. Cannabis has been such a taboo topic for many years, despite showing us many of it's healing properties, including significant possibilities in shrinking cancerous tumours as well as anti-inflammatory properties which can help with many different chronic pain conditions. Cannabis can also play a huge part in helping to save our environment if we changed the use of plastics and building materials to cannabis based products, such as hemp based plastic, which breaks down in a fraction of the time of normal plastic. We believe the main way to remove these stigmas associated with the cannabis plant is by educating the next generation on the healing benefits as well as the environmental benefits this plant has to offer and finally speak the truth about cannabis. This is in the hope of helping other families in similar situations access the help they need."

Martins World Episode 15 with Martin O Brien of Foxworthy Farms Dec 14, 2020

Show notes

In this episode of Martins World I get to chat with Martin O Brien about his journey from Cork to America where he set up the oldest running cannabis dispensary called Patients Care Collective https://berkeleypatientscare.com/

In 2016 he then set out and bought an 82 acre parcel of land and set up Foxworthy farms in the Sonoma county.

I really enjoyed this chat and I hope to visit foxworthy farms in person someday and do this interview again in person. Until then I guess the online space will have to do.
