Originally from mainstream media, I was a producer in Los Angeles when I was brought up to Humboldt County, in Northern California, ten years ago, to produce a news show. While there, five years ago, I presented with breast cancer.
Due to my working in media in the cannabis capitol of the world, I was offered a strong cannabis oil, successfully putting the cancer into remission, while doing away with numerous prescription meds and supplements for myriad conditions/ailments.
This changed my life and career forever, and I've written of nothing else since, with a focus on patient, caregiver, and medicine maker profiles, covering six states and three countries on the subject.
This past year I’ve come full-circle back to television and film, developing intelligent magazine, reality, and documentary shows on the subject. I've also penned a pilot script (with co-writer), from a book I wrote, Cannaopolis being shopped now. Cannaopolis is a family drama based on fact, from my time, friendships, and experiences in Humboldt County.
All-in-all, I've become a niche out of circumstance; knowledgeable on cannabis as medicine (would love to segment and field produce on the subject), with a solid background in production.
Thanks to Stage 32 for giving me a platform to share. For the past five years I've been stuck in the middle of the cannabis community, while merely peering back into mainstream, waiting for the masses to be educated on the subject.

Hi Sharon and welcome to the group. I'm quite familiar with Humboldt County. My wife's son is a medicinal cannabis grower and producer up here in Oregon. I believe there is a market for short instructional medical cannabis use videos and that the demand will only increase as more states allow its use. To bad you've headed south.

I am about to do a live show in Australia called 'TRW' = Today's Real Women. I will be doing some pre recorded segments as a part of the show. I'd be interested in collaborating with you. Happy to screen some of the proven medical facts of Cannabis use on cancer. It's community TV so sadly I don't have any funding but it would help get the word out over here. Let me know what you think. I've got a step sister and a friend fighting breast cancer atm and neither are using alternative methods.

Thanks everyone! So nice to connect with you all. Ashleigh, I just responded to your email ;) Leanne, alas, my first TV gig was for Local Access in Southern California - I honor what you are doing. Wish I was closer to work with you and make things happen. Sending you positive energy for your family and friends - not everyone is brave enough to go the alternative routes, but when they do, it's life changing. Blessings to all :) Nice to meet you, Barry :)
Everyone, I'm new here... how do I tag your names in my comments?!
