Legalization Pioneer and Martyr Eddy Lepp

Eddy Lepp is on the ‘Mount Rushmore’ of legalization pioneers. If
you are one of the many who enjoy recreational marijuana in 17 U.S.
states and medical marijuana in 37 American states, then you owe a
huge debt of gratitude to an iconic figure in the movement, Eddy
Lepp. Despite having a body now riddled with the cancer he has
fought, Mr. Lepp (joined by his wife Sandra) speaks candidly with
our correspondent Rich Walcoff in what may be his last
interview.

He tells the heroic journey he went through that began with helping
someone in need by providing them with medicinal marijuana.

This led to a vast grow in response to the need and demand of those
around him. This also led to his arrest and incarceration with a
10-year sentence.

Although he was offered no jail time in return for turning in his
buddies, Eddy Lepp chose instead to serve almost 9 years of his
sentence.

Nonetheless, conviction by the state could not match the
convictions of a true pioneer who helped pave the way for the
legalization we see today. The National Organization for the Reform
of Marijuana Laws (NORML) called him a ‘marijuana martyr’. Numerous
law enforcement figures, including those on the prosecution side,
now lament the treatment that Mr. Lepp received. In the end, Eddy
Lepp’s dedication and determination was one of the keys that turned
the legal battle of legalization in a new direction.
Respect.
