My late husband, Robert C. Randall, is the acknowledged founder of the modern American medical marijuana movement. In 1976 he became the first American to obtain federal supplies of marijuana for medical purposes (he had glaucoma). For several years he was the ONLY individual receiving such access and he often said he felt like "the only one to make the lifeboat." For more than two decades we worked to remove the prohibitions against marijuana's medical use and we had great successes. Robert died in 2001 and for a decade I took a break from the medical marijuana issue, pursuing my personal interest in hospice and working with Tidewell Hospice in Sarasota, FL for six years. In the autumn of 2012 I decided to retire. 2013 was a busy time as I renovated property in Western North Carolina and began to re-engage the medical cannabis issue. In 2014 I completed my autobiography, "Medical Marijuana in America: Memoir of a Pioneer." It is available on Amazon.com. In 2015 I began a five year collaboration with Mary's Medicinals of Denver working as a traveling ambassador and writer. I developed Mary's Cannabis Primer and Mary's Prime Time. In 2019 I wrote Pain-Free with CBD, published by Rockridge Press. The pandemic put an end to my traveling ambassador days. Today I am an instructor with the Pacific College of Health & Science in their cannabis certification program.To learn more about me please visit www.aliceolearyrandall.com
