Author: Miguel a.k.a Miggy420

Miguel "Miggy420" is a cannabis activist, journalist, and media producer whose advocacy work spans more than two decades. His introduction to the cannabis reform movement came before he was old enough to drive — donating to organizations like NORML and GreenPeace, and supporting the congressional campaign of Keiko Bonk after reading about her in High Times. He went on to help gather signatures for California's Proposition 215, the landmark 1996 medical cannabis initiative that opened the door to legalization across the United States. After serving 10 years in the U.S. Navy, Miguel returned to civilian life in 2007 and immediately resumed his advocacy, building the Miggy420 identity into a recognized voice in cannabis reform. He has been cited by KOMO News (ABC Seattle) as a community voice on medical cannabis access, published in Northwest Leaf magazine, written for organizations including The Human Solution International and Freedom Grow, and contributed cannabis journalism to multiple platforms throughout the 2010s. Today Miguel serves as Co-Host and Editor at Cannabis Legalization News, one of the leading cannabis policy podcasts and YouTube channels in the United States, where he brings his boots-on-the-ground activist perspective to coverage of federal and state legalization developments. He is also the founder of TouchGrass / theweedvlog.com, a 21+ cannabis social community platform. Find him on X at @Miggy110100100, on Instagram @miggy420lives, and on YouTube @miggy420.
