Dr. Williams is the lead author for a new Anthology called "Courage in Cannabis".

“Courage in Cannabis” is a compilation of stories written by doctors, lawyers, patients, caregivers, entrepreneurs, and activists. Each story is unique and written with the hope of inspiring others. In these times, anyone that chooses cannabis or enters the industry has a story of courage. This is true simply because a very short time ago, cannabis was illegal everywhere in North America. The authors in this book took a leap of faith and courage when deciding that cannabis was the option for their lives.

Her belief is that this book is unique and the beginning of a series that will give a voice to the voiceless.
