The cannabis movement lost a great friend October 20, when the beloved Michelle Rainey, 39, lost her battle with cancer. Rainey was a dedicated and familiar activist in the Canadian movement. Known as "Medicinal Michelle" because of her dedication to the medical applications of marijuana. She used cannabis to fight Chrohn's Disease and replace high doses of dangerous pharmaceuticals. When diagnosed with cancer, she continued her mission of education and inspiration by telling people about her positive experiences with therapeutic cannabis. Rainey was revered as one of the most vocal and recognizable activists in the world. A founder of the BC Marijuana Party, she ran as a candidate on its platform and helped many other candidates as well. She was instrumental in the Marc Emery Seed Company and Cannabis Culture magazine. On July 29, 2005 she was indicted by the US government on conspiracy and money laundering charges with Emery and Greg Williams. Emery is now serving a five year sentence for these charges. - West Coast Leaf
