Danielle Simone Brand

Author of Weed Mom: The Canna-Curious Woman's Guide

Danielle Simone Brand is a writer, media maker, and mom who inspires other mothers to live life intentionally and on their own terms—possibly with a little help from her good friend, cannabis. Whether teaching yoga and meditation on Capitol Hill, authoring the book Weed Mom, or attempting (also failing) to homestead off-grid in the Colorado foothills, Danielle’s mission is to inform, uplift, and occasionally challenge her audience while helping push the conversation forward. She has a Master’s in International Peace and Conflict Resolution from American University, a BA from Dartmouth College, and an inability to do the same thing in the same place for very long. Today, Danielle writes and teaches from the Pacific Northwest, where she lives with her family and a very barky terrier.

Sandy Moore

I am a Cannabis Stigma Breaker

Serving in Iraq as a 25 year old I experienced depression and PTSD. Many of my comrades returned stateside with this invisible disability. Soon there were night terrors, moments of anxiety, and just not knowing where I was. Using plant medicine daily helps regulate my mood disorders and reduces chronic pain. I am a true example of an unboxed person.
