Golden Teacher Tori Moline and Jews in Cannabis Lissa Skitolsky and Yael Marcus

This is an international podcast as Joyce speaks with both Tori Moline, a 26 year old Canadian mom with  Hyperemesis Gravidarum, and Lissa Skitolsky and Yael Marcus who discuss Jewish cannabis advocacy and why the cannabis community needs to care about what’s going on in Israel for both its national medical program model and the science originating in Israel. 

Tori Moline discovered she has a genetic pregnancy condition, called Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), in 2021. The severe nausea and vomiting were not relieved by the multiple pharmaceuticals prescribed to her, but she found relief with cannabis. Tori discovered that cannabis improved her quality of life by increasing her appetite and decreasing her vomiting – but she kept this knowledge from her doctor and family out of fear and stigma. As a former history teacher, she took it upon herself to learn the history of cannabis and came to understand that the plant was not the devil but rather a miracle for medicinal use.

Tori was inspired to help others, so she built her @GoldenTeacherTori platforms around educating moms about HG & Plant Medicine. Tori has founded a community of mom's working towards changing HG care and normalizing cannabis use during an HG pregnancy. She believes all HG moms should have access to cannabis and believes plant medicine is the future of HG care. 

Dr. Lissa Skitolsky speaks with Joyce from her home in Canada and is an internationally renowned author and the Editor-in-Chief of Cannabis Jew Magazine. Yael Marcus is an experienced brand and business development professional who four years ago relocated to Israel to fulfill her dream to be part of the global medical cannabis/wellness industry. She lived in Kibbutz Nir Oz with her partner until her community was brutally attacked by Hamas terrorists on October 7. The discussion of her experience and why the cannabis community needs to support Israel is powerful and inspiring.
