About

I am a writer, editor, speaker, educator, and activist primarily working in the cannabis industry. My work involves writing and public speaking aimed at dispelling the myths about marijuana and educating the public and the media on all aspects of this amazing plant. I also consult with cannabis businesses on issues of compliance, product development, and developing cannabis infused recipes. I am a passionate marijuana legalization activist and a dedicated advocate for federal prisoners serving Life Sentences for nonviolent marijuana offenses.
