The Canna Mom Show

Joyce and Amie are in studio with the founder of Genus Viriditas, a cannabis business that helps curious people understand the modern-day cannabis industry.

Kate Morgan is the CEO of Genus Viriditas and is launching Live Lilium on November 10, a brunch and cannabis event.  Kate has years of professional entrepreneurial success under her belt. She began to hatch the idea of Genus Viriditas after the town she and her family lived in shot down a proposal for a laboratory for medicinal cannabis. While cannabis was not something she had been experimenting with at the time, she had a friend who used it to alleviate pain during cancer treatment. As more states began to allow for recreational use, Kate found a role for cannabis in her lifestyle. Kate Morgan is passionate about using her voice to influence society’s opinion so professional women can enjoy and appreciate the many benefits of cannabis.

Kate talks about her transition to cannabis entrepreneur and how she plans to engage professional women with cannabis in a way that is comfortable and fun. And, Joyce and Kate dish about how it feels to send their daughters off to college and what cannabis advice they shared before dropping their girls off at school.

On this week’s episode of The Canna Mom Show Joyce and her co-host Amie

Searles speak with Samantha Montanaro, the energetic and passionate co-founder

and chief operating officer of Tokeativity in Portland, Oregon. Sam shares how she

came to host regular events like The Oregon Cannabis Industry Meet Up and Puff

Pass and Paint Portland and provided a private cannabis friendly space for

dispensaries, farms and processors to host employee trainings, team building events

and parties to celebrate their successes. Samantha is a multi-media artist, event

coordinator, musician and, of course, mom who is passionate about community,

cannabis and feminine empowerment.

The community Samantha built through Prism House became an epicenter for

Oregon cannabis social culture. In 2017, Samantha expanded her regular repertoire of

events by partnering up with Lisa Snyder to launch Tokeativity, the world wide

cannabis community for women.

Joyce and Amie were lucky enough to meet Samantha last spring during her

East Coast visit when she was in Massachusetts promoting the New England

Tokeativity week. They share their insights into how to have the “cannabis

conversation” and what it looks like to be a cool canna mom.

Dismantling the framework of shame built beneath the truth of cannabis is

Heather Dagley’s mission. Heather hosts the website Bud and Blossom where she

shares her insights on how cannabis use can contribute to your “best life.”

Although not a mom, yet, she already knows what all mothers need to know: That

when we take better care of ourselves, we are more capable of taking care of

others.

Heather shares her story of loss, discovery and healing. Specifically, how

she discovered the healing powers of cannabis after a personal tragedy and how it

helped her prickly cat, Thomas, find his inner purr.

In addition, Heather will be a guest blogger on Pro Cannabis Media where

we will feature her three-part series of inspiring stories about women working in

the emerging cannabis industry. She will focus a spotlight on how women in the

cannabis industry are supporting each other and why women are attracted to

cannabis. Could it be because cannabis is a feminine plant and it has the potential

to care for so many in our world? Check out Heather’s blog on Pro Cannabis Media to find out.

Canadian Canna Mom, Amie Reiman, started Hip Lives, a website sharing her insights into the evolving cannabis industry, after she discovered the healing properties of this misunderstood plant. Joyce and Amie talk about how parenting and cannabis intersect when a sick child uses CBD instead of pharmaceuticals, and the strength it takes to face the shaming and stigma that still sticks to cannabis and motherhood.
