For the Life of Me: Between Science and the Law
Diana C. Frank's sister, Patricia Crone, was diagnosed with cancer that had spread to her brain. Frank says the National Cancer Institute lists marijuana's affects on cancer as "anti-metastatic and tumor-shrinking."
Frank is asking for funding for a documentary about her sister's battle with cancer and her self-experimentation with marijuana, from a pot grower in Oregon to multiple brain scans. Frank is hoping to have the documentary finished and aired on PBS in time for her sister to see it.
Backing for this Kickstarter project is already more than $6,000 over its goal and there are over two weeks left in the campaign. Backer gifts range from a "sincere thanks" to an executive producer credit.
