Manage episode 328209604 series 2868732
This is a topic we have been wanting to talk about for a long time, but finding the right person to talk to was difficult.
There is a lot of stigma surrounding Cannabis use, and an incredible amount of discomfort that we dive in to as we open up this chat with Joanna from Budz&Co.
As a recreational user of cannabis, Joanna started to see the holistic medicinal benefits of it when her husband began to experience arthritis from his job. She started dabbling in other products to help her family, which opened up doors into sustainable living and developing a brand that is focused on bringing you the best in all natural, full spectrum, every day wellness.
Shannon shares about her discomfort with cannabis having grown up with a sibling who used habituality, and the changes she made to adopt the therapeutic use of topicals following a running injury. She also talks about how she transitioned from drinking alcohol to incorporating edibles for recreational use.
Rachel shares about the mental health side of things, using it as an aid for symptoms like nausea, safe consumption and purchasing and how cannabis has given her another tool in her toolbox to be able to cope with anxiety.
We also talk about the duality around alcohol and cannabis, the stigma surrounding using cannabis (whether for recreational or therapeutic uses) , the dangers of Mommy Wine Culture, how to find the right dispensary and so, SO much more!
