Cannabis Journey in Focus

I´ve always been the green sheep of my family. I had my first puff on a joint when I was 18 at college and discovered that it chilled me out and reduced my anxiety. Little did I know back then that cannabis was a medicine!

Until I got a chronic long term illness….. (read my story here)

Then I realised how powerful cannabis is as a healing tool .This was a game changer for me! I spent thousands of euros educating myself and travelling around the world to get a good all round understanding of the world’s most controversial plant .Over the years, I’ve attended events, conferences, retreats and connected with some amazing and knowledgeable people in the cannabis industry….
