Treating Yourself Magazine #41


Once again, Treating Yourself Magazine has featured my story about Peter. This time I write about why  “A Question of Compassion” is such an important work of Peter’s. He never got a chance to complete it as he died during its writing.



I strongly feel every patient and their caregivers and friends can benefit from this book.                   

It was written back in 1998 but never got publicized.  I had just discovered this beautiful masterpiece last year and had the idea of bringing it to life on Youtube, free of charge for everyone, narrated by Josh Stanley.


Our friends at TY created a BEAUTIFUL spread, you can get it free online but I also highly recommend that if you can get your hands on a physical copy, you will see just how wonderfully done this is.

The Treating Yourself Expo in Toronto was awesome.  It was really great meeting so many patients and hearing their stories, and being able to offer them hugs, a listening ear, and some of Peter’s books. There seemed to be a lot of interest in the books “How to Heal Depression” and “You Can’t Afford the Luxury of a Negative Thought.” The quote about medical cannabis on the shirts we were offering seemed to resonate deeply with many of the patients. Marco Renda, the founder of the Expo, gave a really amazing surprise along with allowing me to speak about Peter on Sunday.


Remo, aka The Urban Grower gave an awesome interview.  It was a beautiful weekend and can’t wait to come back next year!

Speaking at the 10th Annual Olympia Hempfest

Proud to be a part of this awesome festival hosted from Heritage Park.

And the first legal hempfest in the nation! Please come out and support a wonderful event that truly honours Peter! There’s an awesome line-up of speakers, music and vendors so see you soon!

Peter mentioned in the Huffington Post

Considering many of us view Peter as a true American Hero and Patriot, it’s only fitting that a well-known and respected magazine such as the Huffington Post would choose to remember and honour him today of all days.


Peter appears as one of 14 who died due to the War on Drugs.


To view the full article, “Hemp Flag to be Flown at Capitol on July 4,” click here.


Scroll down to the slideshow. We are grateful to the Post that they chose to mention Peter’s many talents, not just his activism. Presenting him as a whole person.

Boston Freedom Rally 2012

It was an honour to introduce Judge Jim Gray  with the help of Dex Ter. The speech about Peter was well received and we’re pleased to report more people were turned on to Peter’s story.  I was honoured to help introduce Judge Gray, Gary Johnson’s running mate and another Libertarian inspired by Peter.  For that video, click here.


Hempstalk 2012

LOVED Hempstalk  being able to speak about Peter on two different days before really attentive audiences. John Sinclair, notably, who was one of Peter’s earliest influences.  He informed me that  Peter  had been working on a story about his life that he was filming. Watching Judge Jim Gray speak was inspiring as always, and the crowd loved him. When I spoke, I also made mention of the Johnson/Gray ticket and for my efforts I received a big high-five from the Judge himself!


8.17.12 Seattle Hempfest was a good place to interview a few good people regarding Peter McWilliams. Many wonderful people in the Movement were interviewed so look for those coming soon!

Judge Jim Gray, Gary Johnson’s running mate, took time out of his pressing schedule to talk about Peter. He really knew Peter’s story intimately. Anyone who wants to know more about  the Gary Johnson/Jim Gray ticket, please visit: Gary Johnson 2012.com

The Treating Yourself Expo in Toronto, Ontario was awesome.  Peter’s memory was honoured in such a beautiful way.  Marco the editor and founder of TY made sure of it. He placed Peter’s story in issue #34 and allowed me to share his main booth where I met a ton of great people eager to hear Peter’s story.  I was able to sell Peter’s books: Ain’t Nobody’s Business if You Do, You Can’t Afford the Luxury of  a Negative Thought, and Come Love with Me & Be My Life. But that’s not all. I was able to speak about Peter as well. And when Marco promised to wear a petermcwilliams.org shirt, and DID, for two days straight, that says so much about his support.
