News » Medical Marijuana Diva Michelle Rainey Succumbs to Cancer





Well-known medical marijuana advocate and blond haired diva Michelle Rainey died from cancer Wednesday night at her home. Her partnership with the Prince of Pot Marc Emery and her outspoken stance on medical marijuana put her on the map as one of the leading advocates for cannabis as medicine.

Rainey struggled with Crohn’s disease, melanoma and lymphatic cancer. She died with her husband and mother holding her hands at her home. She was 39.

Her show on YouTube, Michelle’s Medicinal Marijuana, was one of the most popular MMJ broadcasts on the Internet, with more than a million viewers.

Marc Emery calls her “one of the greatest activists [the medical marijuana] movement has ever had.”

True that and she’ll definitely be missed. Fly free, Michelle.
