The Cannabis Chronicles of Team Landon – 2013

In 2014 CNN ran a story on 3-year-year-old Landon Riddle who was battling deadly Leukemia, his mom a centerpiece in all of it refused to allow authorities to tell her how to help her son who was quickly diminishing to the chemotherapy that was offered as a life-saving treatment. Her desire to use cannabis as medicine was frowned upon, to say the least. Today, 8 years later, his mother Sierra Lynn Riddle prepares to tell his story in depth. 

Team Landon and Team Genevieve have planned to join together and give the world dual stories to read in one book in 2022. Many have read Genevieve’s Journey in High Times and articles like the Cannabis Love Story that tells how she escaped the depths of severe autism and epilepsy – and millions of others have wondered what happened to this cannabis rock star named Landon Riddle.

Kids that have overcome serious health issues like these two are the very thread that hold the entire cannabis movement together as they give everyone from lawmakers to those in the industry a ‘why’ – a reason to make this plant available to everyone. Many are skeptical about what legalization may do and that makes sense, as we move forward towards the U.S. ending prohibition we must also look back at how this plant proved itself through the most vulnerable members of our society. Cannabis didn’t have to go on this trial to become innocent – it always has been – but now that kids like Landon grow up and Genevieve becomes an adult that’s flourishing the entire game changes as no longer can society villanize what’s saved our kids.

Together we’ll tell you our stories, but for now, let’s look back at a bit of what Sierra had to say in 2013 – and here’s the CNN report.
