There were A LOT of once-in-a-lifetime moments this past week during my trip to @washingtondc, but nothing can ever top this serendipitous encounter. For those who’ve known me awhile, you probably already know what this photo means to me. For those who started following me in recent years, there was a time when I devoted every waking moment to seeking justice for medical c@nn@b*s caregivers who were prosecuted federally for following state laws. I’m proud to say that ALL of the people I fought for have since been released from prison and/or had their indictments dismissed, and it’s truly brought me great pleasure to watch quietly from the sidelines as they resume a sense of normalcy in their lives. 🥹

In this case, however, the Universe apparently had different plans. @sanduskyaaron and @leenie1b were flying out of DC on Tuesday. During a delay, Darlene checked Facebook, thinking about the time we met up in DC previously, and noticed I was there, too. She sent a message about us missing each other, so I called to say how bummed I was. When I mentioned that I was there for National Medical C@nn@b*s Day, they didn’t hesitate for a moment. Next thing I knew, their flight was rebooked and they were attending the event alongside me. WOW! ✨

As luck would have it, I had a tour scheduled the next day at the @ussupremecourt, and so, there we were. Each of our lives have come entirely full circle. I actually get goose bumps just writing about it. 🤯

To top it all off, Aaron and Darlene brought me to tears with the kindest, most thoughtful gesture I’ve received in a very long time. They gave me this incredible @kentstetson handbag from the Supreme Court Gift Shop. This absolutely perfect token of appreciation is symbolic of moving beyond our struggles together and into a brighter future. I have so much more to say about the trip, but this will have to do for now. I’m almost home and thoroughly exhausted, but I simply couldn’t keep this news to myself any longer. 🤩

Next up in my bag of tricks… I shall magically appear inside the @capitolhillclub, home turf for @republicans nationwide. The saying “politics makes strange bedfellows” has never been more true than in my experience with the health freedom movement. Last night, I was invited to a dinner at the National Republican Club of Capitol Hill in @washingtondc. Never did I ever imagine in my wildest dreams! 😆

Friends on the left, don’t hate me. We all know there are times when working across the aisle is a MUST, and c@nn@b*s policy is one of those. I’m not ashamed to work with whomever it takes to get the job done, and in fact, I’m PROUD to be able to do so. Finding common ground and mapping out a way to move forward together is my superpower! 🦸🏼‍♀️

You know I had to snag a couple souvenirs to remember this moment in history. Trust that if I could have walked out with the coffee mug, I would have in a heartbeat, but I want to be invited back one day. 🙏

My first stop in @washingtondc was a visit to @jesspurtellyoga for a “Sound to Ground” meditation with @oreggieglobal of @activepeaceyoga. What an absolute treat! Reggie took us on a journey through time and space, using the sounds of summer to calm, refresh, and energize us. I feel so blessed to have met this wonderful human nearly 10 years ago on Capitol Hill. He’s not only a spiritual guru and my dear friend, he’s the Godfather of my son. I couldn’t have chosen a wiser teacher and mentor for Bennett. 💞

🎶 Reunited, and it feels so good 🎶

Last week, I had the pleasure of joining @dan_rush_mendocino and @timroegge at the Healthy America 2025 conference in Cleveland. We were invited to speak on a panel called “Medical C_nn_b*s: The Next Frontier.” 🏥

See other featured speakers here:
https://healthyamerica2025.com/cleveland-speakers-1

Our presentation was among over two dozen discussions about complementary medicine during the jam-packed two-day lineup. I learned a lot, met some truly incredible people, and enjoyed reminiscing with Dan about our trials, tribulations, and triumphs on Capitol Hill and beyond. 🏛️

Now, before any of my friends on either side of the aisle weigh in to offer their opinions, I want to be clear about a few things:
1) C_nn_b*s is a NON-PARTISAN issue, and has been for as long as I’ve been involved in drug policy reform. ⚖️
2) I will talk to ANYONE about the benefits of plant medicine, politics entirely aside. 🗣️
3) We’ve been told RESCHEDULING is on the horizon, and I’ve invested far too much time and energy at the federal level to walk away now. ⏱️
4) Whether rescheduling or descheduling is on the menu, I’m gonna claim MY SEAT at the table. 🍽️

Anyone who genuinely knows me understands that removing c_nn_b*s from Schedule I of the U.S. Controlled Substances Act (CSA) is my life’s work. A stampede of wild buffalo couldn’t keep me away! 🦬

I hope you can either support my efforts or kindly keep scrolling. In the age of partisan division, echo chambers, and righteous indignation, I am choosing to build bridges where I can and will continue to find ways to be effective, no matter who controls Congress and the White House. 🔐

12 years ago at this time, I was preparing to deliver 50,000 @seattlehempfest programs that I spent many sleepless hours designing, writing, and editing. Remember those days, @brandonpalma?!? 😂👀😴

Today, I’m multiple hours deep in the editing process to bring the “Freedom Fighter of the Month” column back to life for @hightimesmagazine. I told y’all it was gonna be a doozy! Prepare yourselves now, because when the story hits, people’s jaws are gonna drop! 🙀

Funny how life comes full circle, isn’t it?
