I bought can-nabis.comaround 2010 with a clear idea — the “scientific spelling” was a fun way to make a serious point. Education, advocacy, community, and a little fun. Then life happened, and the dream waited for the right moment.
That moment is now. The laws have changed, the conversation has matured, and frankly the stigma has thinned out enough that a project like this can be both genuine and useful.
Why this is personal
I have Crohn's disease. Anyone with IBD will recognize the pattern — the pain that hits at the wrong times, the anxiety that builds because your body has stopped being predictable, the sleep that disappears. Cannabis didn't fix my Crohn's. What it did was reliably give me back the parts of life that the disease kept taking — appetite, calm, sleep. For me that's not a recreational story. It's a medical one with a smile on it.
Where the money goes
A portion of every dollar can-nabis earns is allocated to three buckets, and we'll publish the receipts:
- Legalization advocacy — state and federal organizations actively moving policy (e.g. MPP, NORML, DPA).
- Medical research — IBD, PTSD, pediatric epilepsy, and chronic pain research grants.
- Patient access — programs that get medical cannabis to people who can't afford it.
