After a serious head injury in 1997, Rick Simpson sought
relief from his medical condition through the use of
medicinal hemp oil. When Rick discovered that the oil (with
its high concentration of THC) cured cancers and other
illnesses, he tried to share it with as many people as he
could free of charge – curing and controlling literally
hundreds of people’s illnesses.
But when the story went public, the long arm of the law
snatched the medicine – leaving potentially thousands of
people without their cancer treatments – and leaving Rick
with unconstitutional charges of possessing and trafficking
marijuana!
Note: In this movie they call the medicine “hemp oil”.
According to most definitions, hemp is actually a
non-medicinal form of cannabis. The medicine they’re using
is derived from marijuana flower buds, and is essentially
hash oil. The probable reason why they don’t use these terms
is to try to avoid discrimination.

For most of American
history, growing and using marijuana was legal under both federal law
and the laws of the individual states. By the 1840s, marijuana’s
therapeutic potential began to be recognized by some U.S. physicians.
From 1850 to 1941 cannabis was included in the United States
Pharmacopoeia as a recognized medicinal. By the end of 1936, however,
all 48 states had enacted laws to regulate marijuana. Its decline in
medicine was hastened by the development of aspirin, morphine, and then
other opium-derived drugs, all of which helped to replace marijuana in
the treatment of pain and other medical conditions in Western medicine.
