Born June 28, 1921 in Rochester, NY |

The
daughter of Louis and Gladys (Yaw) Wallace. She died January 1, 2008 in
Roseville, CA. She was predeceased by her husband of 46 years, Arnold
Nutt, and two sons, Keith and Dana. She is survived by her daughter
Joyce Born of Westland, MI, and her son Marc Nutt and his spouse of

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. |
