Anna May Meade

Mary’s journey from stage four cancer to cannabis started with pain from a non-healing wound. Mary is a culinary professional and very much a foodie. When she was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, she refined her already healthy diet to include regular juicing and eliminate processed foods. Cancer treatments are very hard on the body and Mary developed a painful non-healing wound.

She didn't like her pain management choices. Opioids made her dopey and NSAIDs are tough on the liver. She asked her son about cannabis and found that it helped. “I wanted to figure out how best to use cannabis: I complained to my son. I needed a coach!" She asked her sister Anna.

From the author (Anna May): The world is exploding about cannabis. As a long-time cannabis enthusiast, I know it can help many people. But there is reason to have caution, and there is a lot to know. As an educator and a safety professional, I skimmed the cream of several years of seminars and study and boiled it down so most everyone can understand. Be safe, and enjoy the journey.
