In this episode of the Canna Curious Podcast, Kyla sits down with longtime friend and cannabis advocate Chrissie Butler to talk about her evolving relationship with the plant.

From migraines to mood swings, endometriosis to the hormonal rollercoaster that is perimenopause, Chrissie opens up about using cannabis across different life stages - and how she’s had to adapt her rituals, mindset, and medical conversations as her body changed.

In this short seeded episode, I sit down with Ray and Bee where we are dipping into the world of psychedelics - not a deep dive (that’s coming later).

We ask the question: What’s your approach to psychedelics?

Is it about breakthroughs, preparation, or just another tool in the self-discovery kit?

This one’s about personal takeaways, misconceptions, and why what you do after the trip might just matter more than the trip itself.

Bee Mohamed has worked in health policy for over 10 years, both in the public and private sectors. Bee was the inaugural CEO of ScriptWise, a health promotion charity addressing prescription medication addiction and overdose in Australia.

When pain is constant, medicine becomes sacred. So what happens when the system takes it away?

Sharna lives with fibromyalgia, a condition that brings relentless, widespread pain. Through trial and error, she found relief with legal medical cannabis—until she enters the hospital. Each time she’s admitted for care, her cannabis is confiscated and she’s put back on opioids, a medication that makes her violently ill. In this deeply personal conversation, Sharna shares the physical and emotional toll of being denied the medicine that works for her.

It’s a story of resilience, and the ongoing battle for patient rights in a system that still hasn’t caught up with the science—or the humanity. I’m grateful to Sharna for her time today so lets spark up this conversation

Sharna can be contacted @fibroadvocate1
