This week on I'm Not Gonna Lie we are happy to bring in a special guest that is part of a brand we have mentioned often. Jackie Cornell is Chief of Policy & Health Innovations for 1906, the Wellness and Cannabis brand that we have talked so much about on previous episodes.

Our episode today is one of a 3-part series about how Today’s cannabis user demands more than getting high. In part one we tackle the myth of the "pothead", dispelling outdated stereotypes, talking about what types of therapeutic benefits consumers are really seeking, stigma vs. policy, and even how the COVID pandemic has helped to destigmatize cannabis use.
