Eddy Lepp's Wife Linda Passed Away

It is with great sadness that I am writing to tell you all that a great shining light of compassion and freedom here in California has been snuffed out.

Linda Senti, wife of cannabis activist Eddy Lepp, passed from this world at 8 pm PST Sunday, November 25.

Linda was my closest confidant and friend in California, and although sad at her passing, I am happy she is no longer in pain from the cancer she has been fighting for decades.

Please pray for Linda, and especially Eddy Lepp. He needs all the support and love that we can offer so that he can continue fighting for OUR RIGHTS.

Both Eddy and Linda worked tirelessly for at least the last 20 years together on their vision. A vision that included personal freedom for everyone.

Praying for peace in this hard cold world,
~Chris Payaso

 

very sorry for your loss of a personal friend, at least you know she went somewhere a hell of a lot better than here

 

OBITUARY



Linda Irene Senti



Born, July 22 1952, in Carmel, California. She was raised in Monterey, and graduated from the Monterey High School. Linda Senti passed from this mortal plane on Sunday, November 25th at 8 p.m., PST.



Linda Senti is survived by her Mother, Erma; her two children, Richard, her darling and cherished daughter, Christie; and her husband Eddy Lepp. Linda is also survived by countless friends including: Craig Lemire, Jason Dunlap, Jason Parker, Jen, Linda, Ellie, Bobby and Carol Weed, Steven & Thomas, Chris Thompson, Mario and wife and lovely daughters, Kenshee, Bill Maher, Joe Rogan, Ngaio, Pony Boy, the members of the band Vegitation, Ariana, Denis Peron, Jack and Jeanie Herer, Valerie and Mike Corral, Chris and Nicki Conrad, Rocker-T, Peter, Lorna, the staff at the Cannabis College, Arjan, Franco, the Greenhouse Crew, Mila, Soma, Ian, Mr and Mrs BOG, Nellie, Liza, Raynel and Marcus. Linda had so many friends in Europe and North America it is impossible to list them here.



A celebration of Linda’s life and achievements will be held on Saturday, December 8th, at Eddy and Linda’s home.



Linda and her husband, Eddy Lepp, became famous in California for their work promoting, and collecting signatures to get Propostion 215 on the ballot in 1996. Perhaps due to all this effort, the initiative passed and Medical Cannabis became legal in California.



Linda Senti was the former Executive Assistant to the National Director of the American Medical Marijuana Association.



Founder and Leader of the Multi-Denominational Ministry of Cannabis & Rastafari, Linda was instrumental in filing an injuntion against the Federal Government, California State Government, and the County for protection against raids on their medicinal cannabis gardens. This injunction is still actively being considered in US Federal District Court, and has not been denied after more than a year of active litigation. Linda kept this alive until her last day. One of her final messages was to carry on her work to free cannabis users from the draconian laws here in the United States and worldwide.



Linda received so many awards for her work during her lifetime that we cannot list them all here. Just recently Linda received the Jack Herer Emperor Award, and has previously been honored by the Los Angeles Medical Marijuana Expo, and received the Lakesterdam Lifetime Achievment Award. Linda shared many awards with her husband Eddy Lepp, including Freedom Fighter of the Year from High Times Magazine.



Although Linda was uncomfortable being in front of the crowds, she was comfortable with Eddy speaking for her. Without Linda’s support and help Eddy would never have been able to do what he did. The shared philosophies and love that Linda had with Eddy resulted in an incredible level of activism in the struggle to legalize marijuana.



In lieu of flowers, please send donations to help carry on Linda’s work to
