Adrienne is a nutrition & Lifestyle Coach, Certified in CBD/THC medicinal uses, Personal Training, Reiki practitioner, a herbalist in training, & a Cannabis and Human Rights Activist. She joins me to have a chat about her story with Cannabis and how it has benefited her.  Adrienne shares with me her story to date, how despite ongoing mental health issues and related physical conditions, she was able to come off of debilitating prescription medications and to live a full, purposeful life, thanks to cannabis. Adrienne is also about to start out her own podcast too called "The Bitches of Eire" so keep an eye out for when that drops on her social media channels.
