Michelle Kendall's Legacy - Bruce Kendall & Professor Hinanit Koltai

Cannabis Voices

This episode is to honour and celebrate the legacy of previous guest Michelle Kendall who died last year from ovarian cancer.
In her words:
"I think the universe gave me lemons. And I didn't just make lemonade. I feel like I've made lemon meringue pie."
Michelle is referring to her unwavering determination to use a scientific approach to finding a cure for her cancer using cannabis.
As well as making her Schedule 1 documentary highlighting the blockade on research into cannabinoids caused by the completely unjustified schedule 1 classification of the cannabis plant, Michelle and her husband Bruce ploughed their savings into funding research through the Israeli lab of Professor Hinanit Koltai from the Volcani Institute with the view to finding a cure for her cancer.
Sadly Michelle passed away in September 2021, too soon to see the publication of the peer reviewed paper based on her initial studies and curiosity which found that combining THC, CBG and CBC showed anticancer properties against ovarian cancer cell lines.
Bruce and Hinanit hope this is just the start, and are looking for funding to eventually translate these findings to clinical trials.
For anyone interested in finding out more about this work, please contact Bruce through the company he set up with Michelle before her death.
