Show Notes
We talk with Nishi Whitley, author of Chronic Relief, A Guide to Cannabis for the Terminally and Chronically Ill. Nishi wrote this book to help the elderly find the best medications for their sicknesses. Nishii’s mother found amazing relief as she struggled with end-of-life cancer. Nausea and vomiting were controlled perfectly in the last 3 weeks of her life. In seeing how effective edibles could be with pain, appetite and all around contentment, Nishi went to work on laying out the specifics in book form for those looking to incorporate cannabis into their medical relief. In part two this week we talk with Shanita Penny. Shania is a cannabis activist who has lobbied on Capitol Hill with organizations like DC NORML for the reform of national marijuana laws. She also has her own cannabis consulting company, Budding Solutions, helping businesses get started in the industry. Shanita discusses the fast progress New Jersey is making with new Governor Phil Murphy in the realm of patient’s rights and medicinal cannabis. She is an expert on the changes in the industry of cannabis regulations and laws.
