// From the Episode
Harry Rose described how the 'adopt a patient' model works: growers set aside a portion of their crop for critically ill patients who cannot afford medicine. Etien Fontaine discussed how SB34 was created after Proposition 64 initially removed the legal ability to give cannabis away for free. The law sunsets in 2025 and was being renewed through Assembly Bill 2555. Bubbleman urged the industry to make compassion 'cool' on Instagram by showcasing patient adoption programs.
