In separate events, Jeremy Smith and his son had near death experiences from the side effects of prescription medications. Unfortunately, both are still struggling with health issues as of this recording in 2022, which is why Jeremy is a cannabis advocate. Coming from generations of Canadian law enforcement officers, Jeremy graduated Police Foundations while building his body from 6' 2" and 120 pounds to over 200 pounds. Having worked with senior citizens in the health care industry, Jeremy has come to understand the positive impact marijuana can have on humans as we age. This is what inspired him to launch Les Munchies, a cannabis infused food service that has not been fully regulated in Canada's hospitality industry. As a board member of the Canadian Cannabis Tourism Alliance, Jeremy meets with elected officials to further educate them on the desires of the Canadian population to expand its nations tourism capacity with cannabis.

Therefore Pilate said to Him, "So You are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice." Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?" And when he had said this, he went out again to the crowd and said to them, "I find no guilt in Him." John 18:37-38

Your eyes have seen my formless substance; and in Your book were written all the days that were ordained for me. When as yet there was not one of them.
