Kelley Bruce Creating Canna Mommy Safe Spaces
Kelley Bruce is the very first canna mom Joyce met so many years ago, and she’s happy to be sharing Kelley’s story with you today. Kelley Bruce lives in Humboldt County and founded the non-profit organization CannaMommy to support families who are looking for safe access to cannabis because she understands their fight. Kelley founded the non-profit to be ‘For Moms By Moms’ after her experiences as a mother of four children, cannabis advocate and child protection services target.
Cannabis helped heal Kelley from a serious accident, but she was also caught in a system not quite sure how to handle legal cannabis and moms. Despite being a strong advocate for moms and cannabis, she was caught up with child protection services in Colorado and was charged with endangering minors and other crimes. And while most of the charges were eventually dropped after she “rose hell” in the form of countless appeals, letters from the community, past employers, and her daughter’s father, she still got punished with years of probation. The experience is what led her to start CannaMommy.
And Kelley is now launching a new venture of canna curated boxes for moms in California with her Mom B2 Collection available at Canna Mommy.
The Canna Mom Show wants to introduce you to Freedom Grow an all-volunteer non-profit that is assisting cannabis prisoners regain freedom. Founded by Randy Lanier because he is on a mission, like so many in cannabis, to be the person he needed. Check it out.
And our special segment guest today, Tia Moskalenko of Ask Growers shares insights about cannabis strains and how to keep you pot fresh.
