Cannabis Health Radio Podcast

Show Notes

After losing her father, Sasha Carr of Tennessee found herself stuck in a place of deep grief. She wasn’t suicidal, but she also wasn’t fully living. Like many people navigating loss, she was offered prescriptions intended to dull the pain. Instead, she felt a quiet pull to face what she was feeling rather than numb it. That decision led her to cannabis, which became an unexpected part of her healing process.
