A Canna Romance

We had intended to make the Season 4 Finale of The Canna Mom Show a very special show, unfortunately things don’t always work out as planned. Guests postponed, a pet passed and then Joyce’s washing machine broke. This show, instead of Joyce interviewing anyone, she reads the first chapter of the “canna romance” she wrote and is calling, She’s Taking. A Break.

For a few years Joyce has been talking about how art influences culture, and believes a genre of literature she’s calling either “canna chick lit” or “canna romance” has a built-in audience in this podcast. So, she has taken this opportunity on her final show of Season 4 to share her work with you. Please sit back, get yourself a cup of tea or roll yourself a joint, an enjoy chapter one of Joyce’s canna romance, She’s Taking A Break. And if you want to hear more please reach out because she’d love to share the story with you!

“When Annie McGrath returns to her home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, after being on the road with her husband’s band for twenty years, she moves back into her childhood bedroom to figure out how things in her life went so terribly wrong. Dottie McGrath welcomes Annie home and is happy to have someone else in the house besides her ailing husband. And when Annie seeks a compassionate listener in Father Lorenzo - her next-door neighbor and childhood best friend – in the confessional, the threads of Annie’s life begins to unfurl.

Annie is a habitual cannabis consumer and throughout the story cannabis is normalized and accepted along with the unfolding story of Annie’s secrets in order to upend the stigmas that have been created around cannabis use.”
