Tell us about your cannabis origin story?
I have been using cannabis since the age of 17, thinking at that time it was purely recreational, however a few years later my sister moved next door to a wonderful woman named Grama Dee. We became good friends over the years, and during that time, she taught me that cannabis was medicinal and introduced me to the cannabis community. It was amazing to learn about this incredible group of people, who all had an illness and were treating it with cannabis.
I began to realize that my relationship with cannabis wasn't just recreational, and I hadn't taken any pharmaceutical's in years. That is when it occurred to me that it was treating my illness' without me realizing it.
Tell us about some challenges you have faced?
There were a lot of dif icult times, and I think the hardest ones were with family because I felt such a strong responsibility to educate them and have them understand the cause I was ighting for.
There have been many challenges over the years, including issues with law enforcement due to my medicinal cannabis use.
My entire family including those in my own household had great dif iculty understanding, accepting, and respecting my passion for the community and my need to bring attention to the Great ight. April 20, is my Mother's Birthday, and every year I make a point to spend time with her because on 4/20 I turn into Miss Dabb's for the day to support our rights to use Cannabis.
What did I do to move past them:
