On September 20th, 2014, Cannabis in Canada was honoured to be hosted by MMAR Coalition against Repeal members Linda and Maurice Fazio for a night of relentless smoking, dancing, vaporizing, munching, sublimating, and most importantly fundraising, to save our gardens! In total this event was a great success raising $10,000 for the Coalition! Cannabis in Canada podcast co-host Chad Jackett was proud to return to a thriving cannabis culture in his home province of Ontario. Taking place in Oshweken, located on the land of the Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation, the MMAR Coalition invited local members of the hip-hop community Tru 2-Da Rez to perform. The crowd was diverse and included patients from all over Ontario and beyond. Raffles, door prizes, edibles, oils, buds, and good company combined with a great cause proved to be a recipe for terrific event! Cannabis in Canada is proud to bring you this video of some of the action! Filmed as part of the “Central Canada Tour,” Jason Wilcox and Chad Jackett highlight the video with an impassioned speech chronicling the journey of the MMAR Coalition against Repeal, the history of Cannabis in Canada, and look forward to future plans.
