Cannabis is medicine for so many people, including me. However I never used to think that way, even though I’ve used cannabis since I was a teenager, it never occurred to me to use it medicinally, I just smoked weed and got high. It was until after I had my children that I started to use cannabis with intention. Panic attacks from hell Since I was a child I’ve suffered from generalized anxiety and panic …
Great White Shark a Cannabis cultivar for Housework
Ah yes, laundry mountain, that thing that happens when you try to fit other things into your life, like working or anything really. Housework is something I despise, more than that I resent it for taking up my valuable time. Alas, I can’t hire a housekeeper so it’s on me to do what we all have to do unless we want to embrace Oscar the Grouch’s lifestyle choice and live inside a garbage can. So …
Fleuria Infusions creates an elevated chocolate you simply must try!
I recently moderated a panel for Mary Jane Brunch, a great event where women talked about cannabis and parenting. Included in our gift bags was this lovely box of chocolates by Fleuria Infusions.

Art is therapy and cannabis can help
Spotify sent me a song suggestion called “The right to destroy myself” a haunting piece of music. It made me think about that feeling, when we need to fall apart. Those difficult times in our life when we have a crisis of self, a nervous breakdown but that’s exactly what we need. It’s how we evolve. Like the tower card in tarot, we tear down our walls and get back to the foundation to build …
Is vaping cannabis safe? The recent vaping illnesses explained
*Updated September 6, 2019 Recently over 200 people have fallen sick and in some cases died (currently only in the United States and not Canada) from using either e-cigarettes or vape pens, however the media simply refers to is as vaping.

Can you mix wine and weed?
This summer I took a trip to Oliver BC, wine country and visited plenty (7 l think) wineries. At first, I didn’t get the appeal, I’m not that into wine, I like it on occasion but it’s not something I’ll go buy for myself. However each winery offers tasting and that’s where I discovered the magic of wineries. I tasted all the Pinot’s, Merlot’s and Rieslings I could and felt swept away in the stunning …

The unsettled mom brain and how cannabis can help
When I was pregnant with my daughter I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety/panic disorder by Dr. Misry (I shit you not) who looked very bored and followed her quick diagnosis with a suggestion that I buy her book. I didn’t buy her book but I did do everything I could to manage my mental health. I saw a therapist and worked on managing my thoughts. But hoooboy when you have kids generalized anxiety just comes …
