The year 2025 marks a somber milestone: the centenary of international cannabis prohibition. What began in Geneva in 1925, when global powers agreed to classify “Indian hemp” as a narcotic under the International Opium Convention, has since shaped a century of misguided policy, criminalization, and cultural stigma. “This is not a moment for celebration,” says longtime activist and Berkeley Patients Group co-founder Etienne Fontan. “It’s a moment to reflect on the generations harmed, the science suppressed, and the patients denied access to a plant that’s been with humanity since the beginning.” A Global Chorus of Remembrance & Reform Paulo Thiessen…

These are our cultivators: the farmers, growers, and caretakers who’ve chosen to work with one of nature’s most misunderstood…
