Michelle Kendall is a woman on a mission and with a fire in her belly.
Diagnosed with ovarian cancer, Michelle has been successfully using cannabis alongside chemotherapy and surgery to manage her cancer.
As a lover of data, Michelle has been meticulously recording the results from her blood tests. Turns out, taking cannabis oil high in THC reduced the cancer markers in her blood and shrunk her tumour, far more than the conventional treatment she was taking.
So she began to dig deep into cannabinoid research, in particular how through cannabis she might activate the healing potential of the endocannabinoid system.
Michelle was incredulous that we are so far away from cannabis becoming an approved anticancer drug, much in part to the regulatory restrictions on researching the plant. So she decided to make a film about it - and so Schedule 1 - a documentary short about cannabis and cancer - was born.
I strongly recommend checking out Michelle's film - available for free here online.
