TSC Talks! Tiffany Watkins, Cannabis Activist, Enthusiast, Founder of Lady Canna

Tiffany Watkins is a "Cannabis Enthusiast". She's been an activist for 20+ years and has done a lot of work to bring awareness to health care and proper distribution of Medical Cannabis as well as paving the way for Recreational Cannabis.

She has marched the Capital (CA), to help bring a voice to those in need of the protection of the Compassionate Care Act. Additionally, she has attended and spoken at City Council meetings and delivered talks as a keynote when invited.

She states, "Cannabis is my passion and I am driven to assist this industry in becoming the standard when it comes to treatment plans, revenue achievement, and sales models.
My intent is to continue helping, building and growing within the Cannabis industry. "

We discussed her early years getting involved as an activist and what drew her to get involved in the industry; "what drew me in was during that time in the early 90s, we were really coming off the scare of the 80s with HIV and AIDS and there were plenty of my friends whose lives had been touched. They either had a family member or they were personally affected and at that time they were noticing that cannabis was very helpful in easing side effects from some of the very heavy medications that they were on to try to help with the HIV and sometimes full-blown aids. Cannabis helped stave the wasting away. They were using cannabis to increase appetite and lift the mood and just have a better quality of life. They were treated like criminals."

We go on to discuss the timeline of her life and career, after early activism, exploring other options as there was not an opportunity to build a career in cannabis. Eventually, Tiffany delved into agriculture distribution which "just kind of steamrolled into me making a choice, leaving behind the mainstream and just going head headfirst back into cannabis."

She talks about her work at Old Pal The home mantra and an ethos of the company is "it's just weed". It's for the people and it's accessible to everyone. And we spend some time discussing her new business called "Lady Canna"; "when I first developed the concept of Lady Canna, it was geared towards women. It was geared towards the forgotten voices. And as cannabis has really become more mainstream, it is very much so dominated by males....ao that's where it kind of was born. But where it's ended up is being a platform for education, change of stigma, and overall approach to usage of cannabis"

" I think that that really is where is the fire burning underneath is that I just want everyone to understand we have another choice out there for help for relaxation for all a multitude of things that happen in our lives. We have another thing out there that can help us and we need to listen and stop making a villain out of it"

Tiffany is full of wisdom, inspiration and demonstrates the kind of longevity and tenacity that will make Lady Canna a success. There's much more in this episode to educate, inform and empower all who listen. Check out Tiffany's links:
