Today on Hempire our host Eileen Karpfinger is joined by Erica Daniels a cannabis entrepreneur, mother, and the author of Cooking with Leo: An Allergen-Free Autism Family Cookbook. Erica is the single mother of Leo who struggles with autism and chronic health issues. Her life changed and gained new purpose after her son was diagnosed with autism in 2007. Erica founded Autism Advisors LLC and #hope4Leo 501c3 after years of struggling to treat her son’s autism using conventional and biomedical treatments with little or no success. Eating a healthy allergen-free diet and using natural medicines such as medicinal cannabis have greatly improved Leo’s health and autism symptoms. In 2016 Erica founded the autism420 Project, an initiative for legal, safe and appropriate access to medicinal cannabis for use in autism.
