Full Recovery: Mixing Cannabis with Sobriety

Description:

Can cannabis fit into a sober, mindful lifestyle? The answer has been traditionally no, but entrepreneurs in the cannabis industry are developing new models that disrupt the traditional recovery process - and use themselves as their initial clients. In this presentation, Medicine Box CEO/12-step veteran Brian Chaplin discusses how he used cannabis to wean himself off of Prozac. Touching upon his experience as a cultivator, he speaks to specific plant genetics appropriate for these therapies. Moreover, he specifies how he works with clients using his method, and how to transition cannabis from a drug of abuse to a powerful recovery tool.
