Robin was a medical marijuana patient and activist in Montana. For 22 years she suffered the ravages of systemic lupus, a condition that involved unrelenting constant pain and numerous severely debilitating side-effects. She was allergic to most prescription drugs her physicians tried, and only medical marijuana brought enough relief to make her life bearable.
Despite her status as a medical marijuana patient, the DEA seized her medicine last spring (which is when this video was shot). Since then, it’s been harder for her to get what she needed and caregivers have been understandably afraid to supply her.
Yesterday morning, Robin ended her life.
Peace be with you.
