Welcome to The Barrier Breakdown: Disrupting Mental Health! This week our guest is Sister Kate, founder of a non-profit cannabis collective that opened for business in 2010. There, she served cannabidiol medicine to local terminal patients, and during that time, she developed a line of teas, tinctures and salves for patients to experience its healing effects without needing to smoke it.
