In today’s episode, we hear from women about the shame they’ve internalized around their cannabis consumption — even though it has improved their well-being tremendously. Listening to stories like this, or sharing your own, helps chip away at the decades-old social perception and stigma surrounding weed and the people who consume it. Today, five states have the choice to make adult-use cannabis consumption legal, which would be an incredible step towards eradicating the stigma. We hope you enjoy this episode and feel inspired to use your voice (or your vote!) to support the future of cannabis.

One in 10 women suffer from Endometriosis, yet it takes an average of 10 years for women to receive a diagnosis. Read that again. Endometriosis, a debilitating disease that so many women suffer from — one that can cause infertility, painful periods, GI issues, and countless other symptoms — is among the hardest to diagnose. It can even take undergoing a surgery to discover the source of years-long suffering. That’s why talking about Endometriosis and the unpredictable pain that comes along with it is so important. Thankfully, cannabis has proven to be an incredible tool for women who are struggling with painful Endo symptoms, and in this emotional episode, we hear from women who found that relief.

When Christine De La Rosa was diagnosed with lupus in 2010, her team of nearly a dozen doctors put her on 11 pills a day — five of which were opioids.

After five years of debilitating symptoms, Christine found medical cannabis, and for the first time since her diagnosis, she began to feel better. In today’s inspiring episode, Christine shares how swapping prescription drugs for cannabis saved her life, and she encourages others to advocate for themselves on their journey to holistic healing.
