Patch Adams, Bruce Perlowin, & Hemp, Inc.

Bruce Perlowin

Remember actor Robin Williams playing Patch Adams in the major motion picture about a doctor-to-be whom exuded love and goofiness to patients during his academic endeavor to become a physician?

Now, over 40 years later Adams is finally starting to realize his life's dream of building the Gesundheit Institute in Pocahontas County, West Virginia. This is designed to be a $50 million free hospital open to anybody who can visit the establishment. Adams' originally anticipated that the filmmakers of Patch Adams the film were going to donate a portion of the proceeds from the film to this project. Unfortunately, nothing was donated by anybody from the film, especially Robin Williams who made $21 million for his role as the physician himself.

As of recent, Hemp Inc's, Bruce Perlowin, a former drug smuggler of pot with the most watched documentary in the history of CNBC's broadcasting, The King of Pot, has donated 50 million of his own personal shares of Hemp Inc to Adams in an effort to support Adams' vision of re-engineering the traditional paradigm of medicine and its relationship to the current socio-economic and political agenda here in the United States. So, why West Virginia? The most medically uninsured in the country reside in the State. From there, Adams' wants to build free hospitals through the country and the world where physicians all over the world have expressed to him the desire to replicate his project in their localities.

Bruce Perlowin has propped up his entire project under the umbrella name, Benefactors of Humanity, where others can choose to join in his efforts of "paying it forward". Yes, there was a major motion film about this. What does this mean? It means to support someone in need without expecting anything in return outside of the person being helped to simply pay it forward by helping someone else in need. In Benefactors of Humanity, Bruce has started a domino effect by giving 5,000 people (most of whom he has never met) the chance to gain in both wealth and health. Perlowin is not interested in working the medical marijuana field as he both understands and respects the tensions between dispensaries and the government, but rather he will be working in the hemp industry, which is gaining much more momentum with government being that it is an industrial crop and not a "drug."
