Wayne Justmann, sometimes called “the Godfather of Legal Weed,” he will forever be known as Patient #1 in the California medical marijuana program. This pioneer in the cannabis legalization movement tell us that “All use of cannabis is medical.” Wayne worked on the words of Proposition 215 in the years leading up to legalization in 1996. This held that a patient, with a doctor’s recommendation or approval, could possess or cultivate cannabis for their illnesses and health related issues. If you’re living in one of the 36 states which has legal marijuana, or one of the 16 states that permits growing and adult use for any reason, you may owe some debt of gratitude to Mr. Justmann. He received the very first legal marijuana use card in the United States. Hear the story of this pioneer trek toward legalization and the obstacles they faced.
