Episode 10 - Let Us Take You On a Tour Down Under

Welcome to season two of Sessions by the Her(B) Life. We are back with a new lineup of people who have made cannabis their business. Between advocates, industry professionals, influencers and creatives, we’ll be showcasing some of the industry's best and brightest in a new episode every Thursday.

When it comes to cannabis, the difference between the Australian and North American landscape is like night and day. Throughout season two we’ve touched on the many flaws of the newly legalised system in Canada, yet as it is, patients can access their medicine easily, community education is a focus, and the market is blooming.

On the other hand, in Australia, where 85% of people believe cannabis should be available medicinally, and more than 35% of people have used cannabis at some point in their lifetime, simply getting a medical prescription is extremely expensive and can take months. For the wider community, the plant is still marred by misinformation and propaganda, it is feared and heavily stigmatised, but there is still hope.

For Tiyana & Surjeet, helping further the cannabis conversation was the catalyst to starting their new online store, Goodshift Co. Launching in 2020, the online boutique for health-conscious and sustainable living, is built on a belief in science and innovation as well as ancient traditions and alternative practices. Their curated offerings include a range of contemporary health, wellness and lifestyle products to service the Australian market. With a focus on hemp and other holistic products, Goodshift Co is committed to purveying the highest quality, ethical and sustainable goods. The aim is to tap into the curiosity and needs of the growing number of individuals in Australia exploring the shifting narrative around alternative therapies.

Even more exciting Goodshift Co will launch with its very own subscription box, the Shifty Box, which is a quarterly, botanical (read cannabis), edible infusion recipe box. Shifty Box partners with cannabis chefs from around the world to bring unique, tried and tested, botanical infusions recipes to consumers who looking for more than just the good old fashioned pot brownie.
