“My abuelo is my best friend and cannabis is what gave him a second shot at living,' Nelson Guerrero said. - NBCLatino
Now, Gavilanes is sharing his experiences as a New York medical marijuana patient in a new film titled “CannAbuelo: The Jorge Gavilanes Story.” The forthcoming film is part of a larger initiative by the Cannabis Cultural Association, a New York-based nonprofit co-founded by Guerrero to help minority communities engage with the legal cannabis industry.
Guerrero, the association's executive director, said many misconceptions about medical marijuana persist, particularly among older Latinos. Inspiring dialogue among those who are reticent to engage with the medical marijuana industry is what the Cannabis Cultural Association aims to do through meet-ups, workshops and other events. Last Saturday, it participated in a rally at Union Square Park to advocate for equity and inclusion in the marijuana industry.
