b"Freedom Grow with Kristin Flor today on Hempresent! In 2011, the medical cannabis company her father co-owned (Montana Cannabis) was raided by the Federal Government. her mom and dad were suddenly facing an unfair fight in the court system. The feds did not allow the state laws in their court, so they had no defense, and they both were forced to prison. The private prison the feds sent her dad was ignoring his health problems, he was being tortured and severely neglected. Four months into her dad\\u2019s prison stay, she got a phone call from the US Marshals. They told Kristin her dad had two major heart attacks and she needed to come to take him off life support. During this most private time between her dad and her, there were two US Marshals guarding us. A few minutes after Kristin's dad stopped breathing, the nurses removed his covers and his fragile ankles were still shackled to the bed. He had osteoporosis and had broken eight bones in prison. When she left the hospital that night, she vowed to herself to do everything humanly possible to help the prisoners that her dad left behind.

In 2013 she became a public speaker about the subject of cannabis prisoners and active membership with the Human Solution. Her membership quickly led to board members, vice president, and executive director. After leaving The Human Solution in 2015, she co-founded Voices of the Cannabis War (VOW). VOW was not a 501c3, so their focus was writing articles in various magazines about the prisoners, creating images about them, attending events, and hosting VOW radio with Eugene Fischer who served 35 years of a LIFE sentence for cannabis. In 2019, Kristin started working seriously deep with Freedom Grow and decided this is where she wants to put all her attention!"
