Mrs. Nutt was a medical marijuana activist for over 25 years, motivated
by the cancer battle she witnessed in her son Keith, who alleviated his
chemotherapy symptoms by secretly smoking marijuana. When she
discovered that the drug reduced his nausea, she proceeded to battle
the government to make marijuana available to anyone who could prove a
medical need. She and her husband were instrumental in the passage of
the first medical marijuana legalization bill in Michigan in 1979. They
were the recipients of the national Citizens of the Year for The Drug
Policy Foundation in Washington, DC in 1990. They regularly traveled to
state and federal hearings to put a personal face on the medical
marijuana cause.
She had been profiled on CNN News and the CBS Evening News, and was
labeled Grandma Marijuana in an extensive article in High Times
Magazine. She regularly participated in conferences and was also a
focal point in the recently completed documentary Waiting to Inhale by
award-winning filmmaker, Jed Riffe. |
