Cannabis and Online Business with Cyrena Parrouty

Cannabis and Online Business with Cyrena Parrouty

ATTENTION: THIS A JUDGEMENT FREE ZONE

Look, friends, I completely understand that cannabis can be considered the devil's lettuce. I 100% respect each and everyone one of you out there who chose not to use it, and that's OK. This episode was made because a lot of people out there are suffering from chronic health issues and both Cyrena and I know that cannabis can help. I ask you, please be open to what this episode covers, or just don't listen. Thank you :)

And now back to our regular programming...

HAPPY 420 FRIENDS. Well.. almost.

With 420 just around the corner, and as someone who holds a medicinal marijuana (cannabis) card (even though it's legal now in Canada), I have been dreaming about being able to talk about this, openly, for QUITE some time. All I needed was to find someone open to it, on air, and that wanted to speak to me. And then the universe throws me a bone! After some internet stalking (that I'm proud of) I found out Cyrena - who just so happened to be a former teammate, is getting up to some pretty powerful stuff in the cannabis industry.

Cyrena and I talk openly and honestly about the role cannabis has played in our lives. This episode is for you if you're looking for an alternative path to mental health and pain management. And you'll learn how both Cyrena and I use cannabis in our businesses.
