Listen Later

In this episode, we kick off a two-part series on how to approach conversations with friends who are hesitant to try weed. Learn from experts about easing concerns around health, safety, and the fear of getting too high. Whether you're looking to educate or simply offer reassurance, we’ve got the tips to help your friends feel more confident about cannabis. Tune in for a thoughtful discussion that could help break down the barriers of cannabis stigma.

Thank you to our guests Caitlyn Krebs, Dr. Jessica Knox, Dominique White, Kia Baker, Rosie Mattio, Dr. Deondra Asike, Coco Meers, Dr. Lauren Streicher, Sandra Guynes, and Kristi Palmer. 

“If Cannabis is a part of your life, talk about it more openly. If I’m a mother of four and I’m having these conversations with my daughter and it’s my business, I need to be more open about my consumption and have those conversations people so they can get more comfortable around it because the more we’re educating, the more we’re de-stigmatizing, the more comfort people will be in being at a choice for their life.” - Rosie Mattio
