The Joy Factor: Mindfulness, Compassion, Positive Psychology, Healing, Yoga

Hello, and welcome to episode 37 of The JOY Factor Podcast! My guest today is Safriana Degroat and we're chatting about considerations around safely using medical cannabis, According to the National Conference of State Legislators,  “As of Feb. 3, 2022, 37 states, three territories and the District of Columbia allow the medical use of cannabis products.” Despite the rapidly increasing availability of medical marijuana there are too few settings where patients can have open conversations with their healthcare providers about their needs, concerns and experiences using cannabis. Too often people feel shame or judgement about their medical cannabis use and oftentimes doctors and therapists are ill-equiped or uninformed of how best to provide trauma informed care. Our conversation today will give you safety guidelines to consider and a way to explore best practices for use. BioThrough her own personal healing journey, Safrianna embraced her passion for creating a world where all people can be “freely themselves”
