Featuring Michelle Allen, Community Outreach Manager & Cannabis Consultant at Planted Provisioning

After surviving a traumatic car accident the day before her wedding, Michelle Allen learned firsthand how pain can either destroy or transform us. Her journey from hospital patient to healing advocate is nothing short of miraculous, and her story is reshaping how we view cannabis, community impact, and what it means to live with purpose.

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Michelle joins Jason Tracey in the Loud Mouth Studio to share her deeply personal story: surviving a collision that made the evening news, getting married the very next day, camping on the ground in unbearable pain to see Dave Matthews, and ultimately choosing cannabis over a lifetime of narcotics. Her relentless pursuit of healing led her from healthcare into cannabis education, where she now helps thousands of patients discover safe, informed ways to reclaim their lives.

As the face of Planted Provisioning in the community, Michelle is shattering stereotypes and fighting stigma with science, compassion, and soul. Whether she's helping seniors sleep, educating healthcare professionals, or guiding patients off opioids, Michelle is on a mission: to make cannabis approachable, accessible, and healing for all.

Stories are data with soul:

• The car crash that almost killed her became the catalyst that gave her purpose
• Why Michelle refused opioids and instead pioneered her own cannabis-based recovery
• Her powerful transformation from healthcare worker to patient to cannabis educator
• How Planted Provisioning is trailblazing with free consultations, community engagement, and nonprofit support
• Understanding the ECS (Endocannabinoid System) and how cannabis is about much more than getting high
• Helping her devoutly Catholic 97-year-old grandmother use cannabis and regain quality of life
• Destigmatizing the industry and educating doctors, caregivers, and skeptics one conversation at a time

This episode isn’t just about cannabis. It’s about courage, advocacy, and the power of choosing a different path when everyone else says no. If you’ve ever felt judged for your healing journey, or you’re just curious about what it looks like to turn pain into purpose, this one’s for you.
