"Jenny Kush", Medical Marijuana Activist, Killed In Tragic DUI In Colorado

[Truth Seeker]

Yesterday, August 31, 2013, brought the entire medical marijuana movement to a stop with the tragic news that one of their own, a well known woman known as “Jenny Kush” was killed in a DUI accident in Colorado.

The comments have come pouring in via various social media sites, including Facebook and Twitter.

Some of the most moving comments included:

“Today we lost a passionate MMJ/MJ activist, Jenny Kush. R.I.P., Jenny”.

"Stunned disbelief! Just heard the news that we have lost a dear member of our community Jenny Kush. She and Rev Jeremy Charles were in a head-on collision with a drunk driver who was going the wrong way in the HOV lane. Jenny did not survive her injuries. Please keep Jenny and Rev Jeremy in your thoughts and prayers. We are all saddened by this tragedy." ~ Activist Rx MaryJane

According to the Memorial site on Facebook, “The beautiful and courageous, Jenny Kush, was killed by a drunk driver. Her life was spent promoting awareness and spreading the truth about Marijuana, a safer alternative to the "legal" drug that has stolen her life”.

“The woman who was driving made a decision to consume a dangerous drug and then get behind the wheel of an dangerous machine. Jenny lost her life because of that dangerous decision”.

“Jenny was a founding member of our group, Moms for Marijuana International, back when we were on MySpace several years ago. She helped start the first Colorado chapter before she moved on to pursue activism through other local opportunities. She was a dedicated Cannabis Warrior, and her light will be missed in this life”.

“Jenny leaves behind a grieving family who are stricken with sudden the loss of her in their life. To help aid her husband and children through this difficult time, we are raising funds to send to them directly”.

Please help however you can!

Note from email:
Hello, I wanted to clarify Jenny Kush is divorced . She doesn't have a husband she has a boyfriend Rev. The ex husband is a huge drug addict. Please make sure any funds that are set up for her kids go to her kids. The whole community is very grateful for all the support we have received.

This is an OUTRAGE! We should shove this down those hypocrites, special interest and lobbyist groups, tobacco, POLITICIANS, COPS, pharmaceutical and especially ALCOHOL corporations throughout this f-ked up ASS BACKWARDS country! Just another one of the 25-30 THOUSANDS of deaths attributed to alcohol ANNUALLY but yet NOT ONE DEATH attributed to marijuana in THREE THOUSAND YEARS! Can anyone besides myself see the IRONY here? Let me take a wild guess, Her murderer will only get 3 years in jail! We need to ORGANIZE some type of demonstration in this country to send the message of what a crying shame this is. If the cannabis activist organizations have an ounce of brains, Jenny Kush should be made a MARTYR for this cause, but they won’t I'm betting. All I can do is post this every place that I can in order to inform people. What a loss to our cause. Sweet kid, REST, and I know that you're in a much better place now. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, LEGALIZE CANNABIS IN JENNY KUSH’S HONOR!

This saddens me greatly. I am also a bit relieved as bad as that sounds. When I read the headline, my first thought was oh no she died because she was driving stoned, so I was relieved to hear that it was a drunk driver, and not because of weed.

It is a tragedy nonetheless, but we don't need any bad press to fuel the prohibitionists agenda. So that is why I was relieved.

Let me take a wild guess, Her murderer will only get 3 years in jail!
