DENNIS: THE MAN WHO LEGALIZED CANNABIS Trailer (2020)
A Bone+Gold Production The story of veteran, LGBTQ+ and cannabis activist, Dennis Peron, who fought to get cannabis to HIV/AIDS patients in 1990s San …
I’ve got a lot of love for Dennis, but 215 did not legalize anything, and he was adamantly opposed to legalization and he worked against proposition 19 and proposition 64 here in California quite vocally.
Everyday more incredible treatments are coming to the surface about the benefits of cannabis, and one can only thank people like Dennis Peron and the few who made it happen.
incredible. Peron’s story sounds inspiring, a true leader willing to make sacrifices for what they believe in. Can’t wait to see this film!
Any projected release date for this film ? Thanks for making it !
Originally met Dennis in 1972 when I relocated after military service which we both had in common. Left the bay region in 1982 to relocate to San Diego my birth place. Then was relocated back to The City in 1990 to join management at Thom’s Natural Foods and reignited our small friendship. Dennis knew I was working through Thom’s with any number of clients who were suffering with HIV/AIDS. See the movie; We were there. Anyhow, Dennis made me a member of the first club at Corner of Church and Market in 1994 and I got to later attend the larger club which Feds busted. Saw Dennis at his home on 17th St maybe six months before his departure. He was always a good friend and family to many.
Too bad Dennis opposed legalization for the last decades of his life. He did a lot of good for medical marijuana, but this title is a complete misnomer. Dennis attacked the legalization community including Jack Herer, Richard Lee and myself and told everyone to "rest on our laurels" after Prop 215 instead of fighting for full legalization. Yeah, he deserves part of the credit — but this video needs a new name. Just add "Medical" in front of "Marijuana" and it would be okay, although overstated. Hopefully the video will be more accurate than this title is. John Entwhistle repeatedly has said, "this isn't legalization," then credits Dennis with legalizing? Come on.
When is this film planned to come out?
I am Ecstatic to see this story come to film ! Dennis got Sooo much more done than just getting cannabis legal….although….that was quite the little undertaking….wasn't it ?! He created a space where a person could come …get what they needed to self medicate…without being harassed or bothered by anyone…and for some that was the only place like that they had ! I worked with Dennis and John , Wayne since the CBC was on Church st…….I could on and on about stories of peoples lives that have changed ….for the better…including myself …..thanx to Dennis ! I just can't wait ta see the movie !~
All use is medical – Dennis
Great trailer, waiting for the full production. Much is owed to Dennis Peron in the past / present and future
thats was very good. nice job
God bless you Dennis Peron you are a hero like no other my hat's off to you and Godspeed for the Kingdom in Heaven waiting for you thank you roselli Dannyreynolds Indiana
This is going to be an emotionally charged docufilm. From the dark days of AIDS vigils and patients in need of relief emerged a hero. Just the trailer made me cry. Can't wait to see the whole production. I remember working with Dennis Peron on the statewide Prop 215 in 1995/6 at the campaign headquarters on Market Street by Van Ness Ave., and voting on Proposition P in 1991 legalizing medical marijuana in San Francisco and going to the cannabis buyers' club on Church street. He started a life saving movement that is still gaining speed nationally and globally. I've been HIV positive for 33 years now and medical cannabis has a lot to do with why I'm still here. Thank you, Saint Dennis Peron
this brings hot tears to my eyes. I was a good friend of his, I was called Cloud. On his Birthday this means so much to me. thank you
