I had the opportunity to interview one of the most popular writers on Steemit this week, @lily-da-vine.
As you'll see, @lily-da-vine is actually both John and Lily.
But, far more interesting than the fortunes they have been making on Steemit is their story.
They fled the US because the government wanted to kidnap them and put them in a cage for 25 years for trying to help sick people by supplying cannabis which cured their issues.
They had only $50 in their pocket and no passports but managed to make it all the way down to Anarchapulco and since have started numerous new businesses and are currently making a fortune writing on Steemit!
The story is incredible and amazing and gives a lot of hope for many out there who don't have much money but want to live a freer, better life.
You can see it here:
If you aren't already you can follow Lily and John at @lily-da-vine . And, of course, you can follow me @jeffberwick for more interesting stories like these always posted first to Steemit!
Thanks for sharing!

A picture says more than a 1000 words 😆
I love turtles.
Once the turtle is willing to assimulate. If not then should be expelled.
The turtle may be slow moving but DETERMINED/PERSISTENT!!
Imaginary line? Pfft!

Lily is great!
Fascinating.
live a freer, better life..
One definite take away from this is that government can and does take way too many liberties away from individuals.
The so-called "war on drugs" is a clear example of this - and is almost single-handedly responsible for the ballooning of the US prison population to some 2.15 million people - by far the highest value in the World.
And the truth is that the very roots of the "war on drugs" are mired in fraudulent deceit. I demonstrate such adequately here.
It is a shame that due to such, these two individuals have to live beyond the borders of the nation that they settled in. May they never fall into the clutches of the enforcers of the true villains in office.
What a life story! :) Keep on with it @lily-da-vine guys...
I very much enjoyed your post Jeff.
Thanks for show casing John and Lily's story.
Hey, good luck on your journey in our fine community! I'll follow your account to see how you doing :). Please follow me @nakedchef89.
The vapid masses here in he USSA still believe this is the promise land. They can not and will not see the absolute American spirit in leaving the failed American dream.
My hat is off to this adventure. I can only speculate that, life is more rewarding when lived.
Wow! Such a wonderful story!
Well it's about time! I was wondering how many times Dan Dicks would have to interview them before Anarchast got around to it!
This is the perfect example of helping hands.
Fantastic piece of article
Thank you @jefferwick for sharing

So glad they got out and made a better life for themselves.
Thanks for pointing out @lily-da-vine, I'll be excited to follow their story!
inspirational story! :)
followed great content..
Unfortunately there is no room for 'doing the right thing' in the black and white nature of the law.
I like to think that there was one police officer that simply looked the other way when seeing them about to reach the border to let them free.
All the best to John and Lily.
There is a thousands and thousands of immigrants coming to United state off America practically without any money this people coming for American welfare not for American values
Well everybody deserve new opportunities in life!
I wondered who they were. Even though I haven't followed them I will from now on. It's nice to read positive news all the time on Steemit. Never get tired of all these positive stuff and a non-toxic community.
Expat life is the way to go.
This never hurt nobody! (picture of a cannabis leaf)
I can't listen to this until tomorrow, but dang, I guess the passport is only to get back in the US. And that wall, yeah, it's to keep people like these IN
I'm still finishing the video, but it has been great. Thanks for sharing it. They are a real inspiration!
Steemit is the real deal and now I just have to jump ship and get out of this country. I have a steemit wallet because of @dollarvigilante, and I appreciate you, @jeffberwick
Steemit is better option, right? No more illegal business wether it is used in helping some people. Illegality is disobedience to constituted authority. Good testimony.
Hey Jeff, another good post! Were Anarchist as well! We will have some posts coming up soon about growing our own food aquaponically and starting our own business. Love your walk and talks with the dogs and all the info on fasting! Started following Morse after watching one of your videos, keep it up! Up-voted and followed, share the love brother!
Rebel Run-It, because at the "End of the Day" life is #Dicey 🎲
Sending Healing Vibes to @lily-da-vine. Thanks for highlighting awareness.📿
holy shit you guys have balls man, Id be shit scared for a change like that, Good on you guys, very inspiring, seriously cant believe this is real
Wow, that is insane. It's sad when people who try to help others are treated like dirt. Is there no humanity anywhere anymore? I'm glad they were able to leave, though am sure it was with great sorrow. Am following them now as well.
In my state, canabis is declared illegal. If it is used for medical purpose then its fine.
John and Lily are truly inspiring individuals. Was happy to see their home earlier this year. A true testament to individualism.
inspirational for the minnows
Just watching now and found your profiles. Will be following and upvoting a very interesting story you guys have.
I thought it would be lily-da-vine you was talking about i read a post of hers about getting in police chases lol
Great information!
Sooo motivating :) thanks and following them now!
@jeffberwick HI, nice to meet you, I really enjoyed your post. thanks for your sharing
Thank you Jeff, you continue to inspire me, and that is why people watch your videos, we are all feed up with the governments. One day I must escape as well from Canada. Not only I'm feed up being a slave, but my body cannot handle winter, I actually never liked winter, I was just putting up with it. We all want to be free!!
