Hi there, my name is Grace and I am a San Antonio native and cat mom. By day, I work at an office, but by night and weekend I write, share stories, interview entrepreneurs, CEO’s, moms, attend events, and spend my time enjoying the world of cannabis.
My introduction to CBD was like most, in addition to the everyday stress of work-life balance, I am naturally an anxious person. I originally thought my anxiety was awkwardness and byproduct of being homeschooled for 18 years, growing up in a conservative family, all while suffering middle child syndrome as I am the fourth child of nine kids, but that is only a part of my story.
In November of 2018, I began to take CBD on a regular basis. Like most, I was advised to take it at night to sleep better and I did. And although slept better, I knew there was more to my stress then extra deep sleep, so I started to journal. I then decided to start taking my oil mid-morning with my coffee and, as the days went by, I started to notice I was focusing better and problem solved quicker.
That is when I had my “ah ha” moment in January.
It was all anxiety.
A flood of memories came rushing back from my youth; one from when I was five and couldn’t let go of the family station wagon (what if I left something in it?!) and another from when I was seven and approached my mom about my heart racing and breathing quickly but was quickly told I was fine and only wanted attention.
So yes, my odd personality is all natural and it’s not just from being homeschooled, thank you.
My Nows and Heros
I have been interested in the business of cannabis since 2012. In fact, before I realized what CBD was, I have been looking for any job I could find in a legal state to work in the cannabis industry to get whatever experience I could to work with h**p.
And in November of 2018, I had no idea consuming CBD daily would change my life. From the moment I stepped into my first CBD store, I knew I wanted to be involved and join an industry I was already fond of due to positive cannabis role models like Seth Rogen, who was doing great work for Alzheimer’s Research with Hilarity for Charity, Jonathan Van Ness, who is open about his use of cannabis in his youth on his Stitcher podcast Getting Curious, and Illana Gazer and Abbi Jacobson, who are my favorite best friend hero couple, who happen to smoke a lot of w**d in the hit Comedy Central series Broad City.
And guess what, everyday I am learning more about the individuals who have historically voiced their love for cannabis and what awesome things are in the world and now gaining coverage due to social acceptance.
My inspiration is from these folks who I hope to highlight to society as the world enters an age of using CBD products while cannabis entrepreneurship, creativity, and counterculture becomes mainstream.
My Heart
Cannabis is a diverse organism which means there are endless possibilities and creative avenues to steam from the plant, and I want to share those stories from the wonderful people who I have interacted with through it.
Ever since I was a teenager, I wanted to live in a world where cannabis products are in my home, office, and used responsibility through recreational consumption.
And this blog is making that dream a reality.
My goal here is to explore cannabis, provide product reviews, feature inspiring individuals, brands, and relaxing plants that inspire wellness and have been touched by interesting people from around the globe.
I will be sharing my experiments with edibles, different oils, innovative CBD products, people, stories, events, networking opportunities, and more, while exploring time tested methods of cannabis consumption from all around the world.
I can’t wait to get to know you and hear your stories about cannabis.
