Oregon: Marijuana Legalization Legend John Walsh Passes Away


Yesterday, Jan. 3, the cannabis community lost a colorful and dedicated freedom fighter, John Walsh.

Walsh collected signatures for the hemp and cannabis movement for the past thirty years and if asked, he could tell you exactly how many signatures he collected for each and every initiative and ballot measure that relates to hemp or cannabis throughout that period.

“It makes me terribly sad to say that John Walsh, one of the biggest cannabis activists in the country, and dear friend of mine has passed away. It was John that originally introduced me to SSDP during my Freshman year in college. Thank you for everything you have done to make this world a better place,” said former University of Oregon President of Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP), Sam Chapman. Chapman worked with Walsh for several years and called him a “poster child” for medical marijuana, on which Walsh relied for his chronic pain.
