You probably know my backstory by now if you follow me. I use marijuana to treat both my chronic pain and PTSD symptoms. I became an expert and advocate for medical cannabis, because at that time, there weren't many voices in my state, particularly those of veterans, advocating for the legalization of whole plant cannabis medicine and doing so in a way that would actually result in cannabis becoming legal. I met Christine Stenquist at this time. She is what I like to refer to as a "Mover and a Shaker" as well as a fierce patient advocate in the medical cannabis spaces both locally in Utah and nationally. She is one of the leading patient advocates who launched the movement to legalize medical marijuana in Utah. We sat down, got high, and talked about some of these significant moments that show how our coalition of patients was able to accomplish what every single expert inside and outside the state predicted would require a decade. We achieved it in four years. We'll discuss some of the unresolved issues with the medical cannabis program as well as how patient advocacy and giving patients a voice continue to be the most effective means of bringing about advancement and change. We welcome Christine Stenquist to the Pothead Veteran.
