Mike: “I’m giving away 1,000,000 Milligrams”

5 Shares

Compassion created this industry, and now more than ever people need help. It's time for an industry-wide response:

With a rush of parents of children in special education needing help right now – there’s only one solution I can think of and that’s to provide them with cannabinoid medicine that will ease their minds by allowing relaxation. Many don’t realize that special education has been ‘suspended’ – including all therapies for the severely disabled and this is leaving parents in a position that calls for action. It’s not only putting kids at risk of being put in out-of-home placements, it’s too late for that – as it’s happening now. Due to the number of kids in peril I’ve made the decision to give away 1,000,000 mgs of CBD oil. How I’ll do that is still being worked out so if you want to be part of it please read on.

Is what I’m doing going to cure anything – yes. But it’s not a physical disease – it’s the decaying vision that was given to us by a subculture of love in the world of cannabis and hemp. As the industry is somewhat put on hold so are the services for the kids it serves – so why isn’t the industry giving to their parents of them? Why do I see a move to sell medical goods vs. trying to take care of our people? These are the very people that make this industry rock n roll. The sick, the disabled, and especially the children. I’m not going to sit back and watch – instead I’m giving away, at minimum, 1,000,000 milligrams of CBD to parents stressed out during this time. They need our help badly – it’s not just the kids this time – it’s everyone.

My hope is that others will read this and steal the idea like it’s fresh IP on a new product that nobody’s protecting. I want you, I’m begging you, please copy me but it’s highly unlikely that if you’re in the industry you will. If you sell bulk constituents and have the ability to help or know someone that does please let them know about this article. I’m not stopping until this happens so you’ll see more! The fact I’ve been lied to, misled, and treated less than professional in attempting to do this over the last few weeks has made me want to create Genevieve’s Dream Hemp extract so it can be available for compassion. We’re going to make that entity large and fund as much love as possible with it. We’re very excited about that but people need far sooner than that will happen.

Genevieve at age 8. She’s nearly 17 now and thriving due to cannabis extracts.

But for now, I’m still disabled and our home operates off of a very fixed income as we continue to run a compassion program and give away as much as we can. It’s been a while since I gave away a full Liter of anything (1,000,000mg) – but I’ve got some good material to think about while this mission unfolds. The memories of sitting with Dennis Peron and writing the Peron Resolution on my birthday in 2017. That man was all about love and taught me what I know today “Compassion isn’t always convenient” he once told me “Nobody ever left Market St. without a joint.”

Don’t make a mistake and think that the world isn’t watching – we are. The people that matter are watching. Consumers – yes, our folks that buy things. I’m still one of them as I slowly make my way into the corporate world of Cannabis and attempt to work my way off of SSDI after 25 years of brutal disability based on a high-speed auto racing wreck in 1995 and followed by multiple cancer battles.

I won because of cannabinoid medicine – I’m okay because of it. But, right now, the kids I used to represent are not and the reason why is they no longer have basic services necessary for them and their parents can’t keep up. I’m writing this at One o’clock in the morning after chasing Genevieve around the house laughing most of the night. But my former clients aren’t laughing – they don’t have the knowledge nor the plant medicine that I do.

I’m inundated with parents asking how to see the child they gave up – and all because they were too stressed out and felt it was the right move during a time of national panic. When a parent calls a state worker and says “I can’t handle it anymore” the wheels go in motion and even an attorney could have issues, big ones, attempting to reverse any state action. So it’s done… but what do we do in response?

We have to face the facts – if parents break or if children are unable to manage without services they end up in out of home placements. Things happen. When we look at recent news in New Jersey a total of 12 deaths occurred when 86 residents of group home for the disabled became positive only weeks ago. Marge Saponara’s son Michael Saponara has autism, bipolar disorder and “behavior issues” that include “severe self-injury.” He lives in a group home in Bergen County that is overseen by the Division of Developmental Disabilities.

“What did they think was going to happen? Nobody gave them a second thought,” Saponara said. Michael Saponara is 29, and his mother said he is “large and hyper.” His main chances to socialize come in the form of daily therapeutic programs run by health care professionals who understand his severe conditions. The programs have been closed for weeks. He’s been cooped up alone in his small room. “He doesn’t understand any of this,” she said. “I had to get extra medication for him to keep him calm.” He’s punching himself.

“We are deeply saddened by the tragic passing of these valued members of our New Jersey community. Every loss is felt deeply, and every one of these amazing souls will be missed,” said Human Services Commissioner Carole Johnson. The Department of Human Services, which oversees the Division of Developmental Disabilities, is not able to provide numbers of the daily care aides who have tested positive for COVID-19, said spokesman Tom Hester.

I can’t be in an industry that can help and do nothing – even living on SSI completely unfunded. I must be able to go to bed at night knowing I did what I could. It no longer matters to me what anyone thinks – the thought of outside gratification or any at all has long left. What I do is to educate and promote love and giving. Those that read any further into may be missing a very valuable lesson of love and care for humanity. A message of the community over competition and that nobody is better than another. Nobody is the best and we are all winners.

Recently the loss of Charlotte Figi left a dent in the heart of all in the world of Cannabis

In memory of Angel Charlotte Figi, she embraced us with her love and ability to show strength. A child that endured countless seizures and battled Dravet Syndrome like a warrior until the very last one that ended her time with us. We must carry the torch forward, we must not forget – ever – where we’ve come from. A brutal legacy is a foundation in which Charlotte’s story emerged on CNN and the world went wild as they saw a beautiful child stop seizing and start living. We lost her but we didn’t lose her love on April 7th – which will forever be remembered as Charlotte Figi Day in Colorado and around the world.

When the very children that made this industry suffer and the industry has the ability to respond to those literal cries for help – what do we do when this happens? Do we fold up and cave in like I almost did today out of frustration? No, we do not because we are warriors, we are freedom fighters. I’m giving away 1 million milligrams and if 9 others do the same we’ll give away 10,000,000. If one entity supplies me with enough I’ll make enough to give away 10,000,000 mg’s.

If anything ever taught me a lesson in life it was the meeting with him that ended in the Peron Resolution. Wearing a T-shirt, smoking a joint, and kicking back in a very simplistic room so many words slipped through to me that forever changed my life. And it made me think today about the Veterans that are having a tough time, suicide rates are up and there’s no way to gain accurate numbers or the type of therapies necessary. It’s so important to help people and remember compassion built the industry – it was that subculture of love that made it all happen.

“We didn’t do this because we had a plan all laid out and followed it, we did it because it was the natural thing for us all to do. Nobody thought twice, it was just love.” -Dennis Peron 3/3/2017 – words stated to me on my birthday and I’ll never forget them. Rest in peace legend – it’s time for others to pick up the baton and continue the marathon of madness many of us know as ‘compassion’ – and as he said it’s all about loving one another and caring more about the world than you do yourself. It’s possible to do this – to detach yourself from your own needs and realize they are wants.
