TRIGGER WARNING: drugs, alcohol and violence Updated as I can🥰 I had a very difficult childhood, I did not fully live with my mom until I was 14. Before that I was in and out of foster care and lived with my aunt and uncle who abused me. Fast forward to 14 when I moved in full time with my mother who had just gotten sober from her 30 year heroin addiction. By the time I moved in with my mother I had already tried most drugs except heroin, but I was drinking and doing coke often. I used to have bars on my bedroom windows because my mom was trying to stop me from sneaking out, well I couldn't get out but my friends would come to my windows to deliver drugs. Up till this point I had not heroin because I didn't want to be like my mom, she failed as a mom, she contracted a life altering disease, she lost everything she ever had. I couldn't see the sobriety, I didn't care I was too hurt from what she had done, the way she left me. When I was a baby I was with my mom in her full blown addiction. We didn't have a home so we slept and lived in a broken down van in a junk yard. I was potty trained on a hubcap. So for my second birthday my mom gave me to my aunt and uncle so that I could have a good Christmas, but she promised to be back in a few days. She never came back to get me. This all has relevance so hold on! So I was hurt, very hurt and I focused on the hurt for a while, I was 14. Then when I was 16 years old so around 2001-2002 my mom was diagnosed with stage 3b ovarian cancer. Within a week she had a total hysterectomy and they basically said they got what they could but there was some in there they could not get. That in a few years she would be full of cancer. At that time, my mother had always been so sick because as I mentioned earlier she had gotten HIV then full blown AIDS by the time I was 6 months old to a year old. I was used to doctors telling me she would die, I was in grieving therapy and everything! I didn’t believe them, honestly I thought she was invincible. Well I asked her to ask her doctors for OxyContin because we could sell them and she said absolutely!! She asked, we picked them up and I was now making money for my family, selling my moms drugs. That only lasted one full month, I gave her money and buy the next month I had nothing to give because I took all the pills. She was really upset, and I moved out. I think it’s also important to mention that my whole life I was hiding my sexuality and who I needed to be.. and that being with men was a way to be accepted in my family.

Welcome to my community on cannabis!!! I’m super excited to be here and to teach everything that I know about weed! First let’s start off with my name is Jenne, I’m about to be 40 and for the past almost 3 years I’ve been working at a cannabis store. My position has gone from bud tender to part time inventory manager so one thing I know this is product! I got into cannabis because my mother had cancer and we used it medically for her. Once she couldn’t smoke anymore I made her butter. I saw the benefits and it helped not only prolong her life but make it more manageable while she was here. Now I use cannabis medically and recreationally. We will go over everything about the plant- covering thc content - terpenes- cannabinoids- the entourage effect and everything that makes this plant amazing. We will go over medical benefits and of course all the different kinds, because you can smoke it, take gummies, have a tincture, drink a beverage, have a different edible like chocolate or rice crispy treats! Also there’s rso and concentrate, vapes to smoke and even weed inhalers!! Crazy new world, well old world that we’re just figuring out!! While I was getting sober, figuring out my mom‘s journey, figuring out my journey I got into yoga and meditation, and I am a certified yoga teacher and a certified meditation teacher, and this is a big part of my journey so I will share this with you guys as well!!
