Episode 041: Budtending + Breaking Cycles with Amanda Cruz of Flores De Familia

The motto for this conversation is “knowledge is power.” Amanda shares how she navigated getting access to an IL medical card while having one foot in the cannabis industry and another one foot in the healthcare world.

This seemingly dualistic perspective gave her an advantage to be a portal for people to heal in her community. With so much packed into this episode -- we talk about what it means to be a budtender, training for the position, representation within the industry, and discussing cannabis safety with your kids. Keep listening if you’re in support of taking away the scary boogie man side of cannabis and instead as Amanda puts it, “loving cannabis as well as she loves you.”
