I get a lot of questions about cannabis and women's health. So this week, I'm serving up a casually baked chat on cannabis, menopause, and women’s health that's worth repeating. We discuss science, life experience, the power of stigmas, and changing the perception of aging with Dr. Michelle Sexton and the co-founders of Hello Again. In this discussion from November 2021, Dr. Sexton mentions an educational course she's working on to help us understand the impacts of cannabis on the female body throughout our life cycle. And I'm happy to report she's finally given birth to "The Green Woman's Guide." You'll find a link to the course and a 25% discount code in these show notes.
