Can you tell us about your first cannabis experience?

I have used Cannabis for 42 years, it wasn’t even pot then it was “grass” I remember I was 15 and we had a creek that we all hung out at and smoked cigarettes so our parents would not see us, I grew up in Kingston, Ontario. I remember someone bringing “grass” that day and we smoked it from a pipe, I remember the feeling of euphoria was kind of like drinking and with me not having great luck with alcohol (Always getting sick) I knew right away this was going to be my choice of intoxicant for life, it wasn’t much, much later until I realized it was medicine.

What inspired you to help older adults learn the joy and benefits of cannabis?

Being such an avid user for so many years and when all of the legalization conversations starting coming up I truly wondered if due to my age I would have a chance to participate in the industry.

I spent all of my life in Hotel Restaurant Management and at the age of 50 I decided to make a career change and I started working for a company that helped people get access to Medical Cannabis. Once I started learning more and more about Medical I knew I wanted to do more, helping people my own age and older really opened my eyes to the stigma and I knew that if we could bridge generations somehow through Cannabis we could go along ways to ending the stigma.

I love the fact that I get to work with people of all ages in this industry, I have always been young at heart and the younger people in the industry in turn make me feel young and I really enjoy that aspect of it.
