My guest this week is a returning champion, my friend Laura Piper Lee! Her third romance POT SHOT comes out on May 19th and was just named an indie next pick. We talked about what inspired her to write about a woman living with Crohn's Disease who opens a dispensary in her hometown, happily-ever-afters that include chronic illness, and why the world needs more stoner rom-coms.

This episode contains a lot of conversation about cannabis, and I apologize in advance for how much I sound like a narc. I promise I am not anti-weed, I am just from Connecticut and deeply uncool.
