I'm looking of everything.

I'm going to, welcome to an all new, great moments and weed.

Let's the bell strike take something.

Yes, you're a Bible.

Hi, everybody.

It's Bean. Welcome to an all-new great moments in weed history. I'm excited to share this week's

episode because it's about a great moment in weed history that's actually going to happen tomorrow,

assuming, of course, that you are listening to this on the day it came out. And who among us doesn't wake and bake first thing on Weedness Day morning and then immediately listen to each new GMIWH episode while it's fresh off the podcast production line?

Mmm, still warm.

Anyway, long-time listeners to this program will remember John Sernasek from an episode back in 2023.

I actually first met John because he subscribes to great moments in weed history on Patreon,

and he signed up to do a secret session with me over Zoom. Now, first and foremost,

what I discovered during that session is that John is just a very chill and funny person to get

lit with. We also discussed how he became an advocate for fellow patients using cannabis to treat

Friderick's ataxia. When John told me he's been researching and writing a book

about his medical cannabis journey, being an author myself, naturally I offered to help. And two years

later, I'm happy to report that after a lot of diligent effort, that book is almost complete,

and he is right now on his way to Las Vegas as an invited

guest of the National Ataxia Foundation at their annual conference where he will present an excerpt

from his book in advance of publication. John will also be speaking with the hundreds of patients,

caregivers, doctors, and researchers who attend the conference, handing out a pamphlet with more information and generally spreading

awareness via his grassroots, yep, little weed pun for you, John, advocacy group canataxia.
