AI Recap Ep. 128 - Reclaiming Health, Reimagining Cannabis: A Recap of “Unleashing the Power of Personal Plant Medicine”
Description
In this special recap episode, Dre & Smiley revisit Episode 128: “Unleashing the Power of Personal Plant Medicine” featuring Elizabeth Sage, a Certified Ganjier and passionate advocate for the transformative power of cannabis.
Elizabeth opened up about her unconventional journey—what she calls “life as a labyrinth”—from greenhouse work and fashion marketing to becoming a pioneering voice in the professionalization of cannabis. As a Certified Ganjier (think sommelier, but for cannabis), Elizabeth explained how this evolving role is helping elevate cannabis culture through education, sensory analysis, and a deep respect for the plant.
This recap highlights her reflections on motherhood, her superpower of juggling priorities, and her drive to de-stigmatize cannabis by connecting ancient wisdom with modern neuroscience. We explore her emphasis on personalized medicine, safe consumption (“start low and go slow”), and the need for open conversations that move us beyond the outdated "D.A.R.E." era.
We also dig into the gritty challenges of the legal cannabis industry—from 280E tax barriers and lack of banking access, to the untapped potential of international markets and the frustrations of navigating 37 different state-level systems.
Whether you're cannabis-curious, plant-medicine-passionate, or just love hearing stories of people carving out their own path, this episode is a powerful reminder that healing and transformation are deeply personal—and often political.
🎧 Listen in and be inspired to rethink what health, healing, and community care can truly look like.
