We Have To Do Better

John Ford reminds us that we cannot abandon our community servants in their time of need. The State of Louisiana can do better in expanding access to Black farmers and other minority entrepreneurs.

We Have to Do Better

More than Medicine

We Can Make It Happen

We Have To Do Better

Hemp and Medical Cannabis Farmer John Ford describes how the state could pull together to better serve patients, many of whom are veterans and community leaders such as firefighters and first responders.

More than a Medicine

We Can Make It Happen

We Can Make It Happen

Make Louisiana’s MMJ Program More Inclusive to Minorities

Legislative Sessions should not be barriers. When things are bad, Louisiana leadership need to make it right. Ignored mistakes become intentional problems. We have the solution: HOMEGROW and allowing Hemp Farmers to come to patients’ rescue.

We Can Fix This Right Now

Make Louisiana’s MMJ Program More Inclusive to Minorities

Make Louisiana’s MMJ Program More Inclusive to Minorities

Make Louisiana’s MMJ Program More Inclusive to Minorities

Louisiana’s current medical marijuana program is not inclusive. Lack of diversity in the program is showing. Ford also cites problems with how the program was set-up from the beginning. 

Diversity Is Needed in LA’s MMJ Program

Be an Advocate

Make Louisiana’s MMJ Program More Inclusive to Minorities

Challenges Can Be Opportunities

Even though he is a cultivator in Missisippi, Ford advocates for HOMEGROW, because the people that need this medicine, need this medicine. HOMEGROW ensures they have access to it.

Hemp Farmers + Medical Cannabis Cultivators Should Support HOMEGROW

Challenges Can Be Opportunities

Make Louisiana’s MMJ Program More Inclusive to Minorities

Challenges Can Be Opportunities

Ford views the challenges of the medical marijuana market as opportunities t work together to make it happen not just for patients but for the thousands of Black Farmers in the state.

Opportunity for the Whole State

Monopolies Help Only the Owners

Farmers Never Put All Their Eggs in One Basket

Farmers Never Put All Their Eggs in One Basket

Ford reminds leadership that problems can be fixed. Mistakes are human but allowing mistakes to continue is not right. The monopoly system prevents progress for the entire state. 

Monopolies Don’t Belong in Medicine

Farmers Never Put All Their Eggs in One Basket

Farmers Never Put All Their Eggs in One Basket

Farmers Never Put All Their Eggs in One Basket

Ford describes how one company controlling 95% of the flower for the entire state does not make any sense from an agricultural perspective—or patients’ best interests.

Farmers Know Better
