In the Summer of 2003, Louis P. Burns aka Lugh from Upstate Renegade Productions was invited to film at an undisclosed medical cannabis farm in the U.K. Our host, who wishes to remain known as Vel due to current British legislation, took us step by step through the growing stages of medical cannabis, from cutting shed to fully mature plants ready for harvesting.

Like Vel, Lugh lives with physical disabilities that limit his mobility and cause him constant and severe pain. He was inspired to produce the HEALING HERBS film in defense of disabled people's right to alleviate their discomfort
with cannabis shortly after watching a video recorded episode of the; Mark Thomas Comedy Product entitled; The Genetically Modified Mark Thomas Comedy Product (Vera Productions, 1998). This show gave an opportunity for disabled people who used medical cannabis to confront the then Home Secretary, Jack Straw.

HEALING HERBS also focuses on cannabis growing techniques for good yields. It includes guidance on; best lights, natural predators and tips on how to combat these + the right soil and water PH levels. The film also lists and emphasises lots of medical conditions that benefit greatly from regular use of medical cannabis. Illnesses like; AIDS Related Conditions (ARC), Arthritis, Chronic Lower Back Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis and many more along with short descriptions of how marijuana benefits each...

Due to the nature of online films, we can edit in more conditions that benefit from using medical cannabis on a regular basis, as and when they come to light.

Also because of this an opportunity exists for 8 sponsors to have their business logo's displayed in the end rolling credits in return for a reasonable donation towards new equipment and our maintainance / running costs. We will keep you updated on this and include any sponsor's names and their logo's to this production when they become known to us.

The film's run-time is 18.10 minutes and contains mellow and trippy sample Jazz by friends of Iain Ronald; Deadly Science (Douglas Barclay and Joe Shakespeare).

Guillermo Echanique aka Wil Wynn"It's too bad my body/mind cannot deal with drugs, legal, illegal and/or paralegal. Beginning with alcohol and ending with zantac, I just have to avoid them and go the way of natural healing. I shudder at the thought of some day having to rely on drugs to decrease pain or suffering caused by a disease. I do support the right of people to use whatever nature puts at their disposal to ameliorate pain, suffering, and the American way of life, as long as no other parties are injured, hurt, or otherwise negatively affected. C'mon, we sell alcohol, for breweries' sake! Good work, Lou!"

Guillermo Echanique aka Wil Wynn is a Performance Artist and Poet living in Staten Island, New York. The quoted comment above* is from his writing about Healing Herbs on facebook 24th February, 2009. Learn more about this artist's work on: Electromotif

healing herbs (Poem)
By Catherine Edmunds © 2007. All rights of the author respected and reserved.

'just building a spliff' he said
and he turned away briefly
deft fingers knowing their way

he was back in seconds
to chat breathe relax
be himself once again
without the pain of his spine leg hip shoulders mind
free to be with me just for a while
to smile, have a laugh, tell me tales
about cats neighbours gangsters glasgow
carstairs carruthers and knitting
a scarf
for a sheep

'just building a spliff'
he said one last time
when the pain
returned

now it's gone
so sleep
rest in peace
dearest friend

(for JDS)
