Authors, Advocates and Athletes –Two Canna Dads!

Joyce speaks with two guests whose stories are featured in Volume Two in the Courage in Cannabis series, The Triumphant Stories. Both of today’s guests are caregivers  - but they are dads! Yes, The Canna Mom Show is launching Season Five with two inspiring canna dad stories.

Gerald Moore Jr. is the father of three, a former all-American football player and an inspiring advocate for athletes and cannabis- as well as president of a non-profit group serving Ohio’s historically disenfranchised communities and neighborhoods.  

Rick Anstiss is a Michigan advocate whose journey includes using cannabis for his own healing, growing it for his medical patients and advocating for a quality medical program for all the citizens of Michigan.

This is a great conversation, so sit back, get yourself of cup of tea or roll  yourself a joint and get ready to meet Gerald Moore Jr. and Rick Anstiss – authors in Courage in Cannabis and just a couple of canna dads!
