From Canadian Cannabis Refugee to NY Cannabis Advocate – Nikki Lawley

Nikki Lawley is a New York Cannabis Advocate who Joyce has been following on social media for years and meet in person at the Boston NECANN where Nikki spoke on stage about how the traumatic brain injury she suffered in 2016 stole her joy, and how cannabis returned it. Nikki loves sharing her cannabis journey with as many people as she can so she can impact others. She shares with Joyce a story of inspiration and triumph and why, like so many women in cannabis, she’s striving to become the person she wished she’d had.  

 Joyce announces that the Boston High Tea is happening on Saturday, April 30, tickets are on sale now.  And thank you Fortuna Design and Ashley Corrado for making today’s podcast possible.
