“We’ll keep doing this every year, keep doubling it and reach even more people.”

This is Dana Larsen, a Vancouver-based cannabis activist who has spent more than a decade fighting for full legalization.

Larsen was one of the founding members of the B.C. Marijuana Party and the Marijuana Party of Canada. He also runs a medical marijuana dispensary, has written several books about pot, and led a 2013 campaign to put the pot laws in B.C. to a referendum (although it fell short of the required signatures).
