Today we’re talking about drugs — but not in the context of addiction; rather, as a tool for healing.   Specifically, we’re taking a deep dive into cannabis. Cannabis can be used for healing, as a method for self-care, and as a tool for self-discovery. With IGNTD, we’re all about getting honest and real about the tools that can serve us, what doesn’t, and all of the grey areas in between. And though using cannabis has been incredibly controversial for many, many decades as part of the war on drugs, we are now seeing legalization, decriminalization, and the stigma being lifted around it.   Joining us for this conversation is our special guest, Kate Miller (otherwise known as Miss Grass) — and she’s on a mission to normalize weed through her brand, Miss Grass! Together, we talk about her journey, how to use cannabis, differences in doses, a breakdown of the different strains, the key elements of cannabis you should pay attention to as a first-time consumer, the vast array of different cannabis products, and how you can use cannabis as a tool for healing and self-discovery.   IGNTD Specials: IGNTD Hero Recovery Program — 30 Days Free Free Live Group Coaching Weekly from Dr. Jaffe   Topics Discussed: [:35] About today’s episode with Kate Miller!
