Our hero, Julian Stobbs, who was a part of the amazing team that won us our constitutional rights to use cannabis at home, passed away last night.I would like to give thanks to Julian for lighting the way for us and for leaving this world a better place than he found it. 💚
Without his brave efforts, my book would not have been allowed, as using this amazing plant at home would still be outlawed.
Julian and his wonderful partner, Myrtle Clark, started their cannabis journey some years back when they were raided by police for using cannabis.
They were treated like criminals and had the sanctity of their home violated for using a plant. Instead of cowering before the brute force of the Law, they chose instead to put their chins up and shoulders back and made a decision to fight this injustice.They took it to court. They rallied the people. They educated others. They spread the word. They opened minds.
They networked. They took it to court again. And again. They traveled overseas. They did international interviews. They spread awareness. They joined forces with like minded souls. They persisted.
And they won.
They won us ALL the right to finally use and grow cannabis, safe from any interference.
I was lucky to meet Julian in person last year and it was a dream come true for me. 💚 His and Myrtle’s passion has been nothing short of inspirational.
Julian Stobbs, I give thanks and gratitude to you for all your courage and determination – you made a real difference in the time you were given. #RIPJules

Thank you for all you have done for our community and the country.
A true leader and pioneer for the legalisation of cannabis.

A legend gone too soon.
R.I.P Jules. Your legacy will live on
