Episode 159 It's all about getting people educated!

PatiCakes and her buds Kandice Hawes and Elliott Redmond along with Toan at the controls and Lickity Spliff joining in the conversation with Adam Sternberg of Compassion Nevada & Keiko Beatie on the road at the Women Grow Leadership Conference in Denver, The Mile High City!!!!!Women Grow was created to connect, educate, inspire and empower the next generation of cannabis industry leaders by creating programs, community and events for aspiring and current business executives. Founded in 2014 in Denver, Women Grow is a for-profit entity that serves as a catalyst for women to influence and succeed in the cannabis industry as the end of marijuana prohibition occurs on a national scale.In 2004, Adam Sternberg asked for, and received, a medical marijuana card from the State of Nevada. Sternberg was undergoing cancer treatments at the time, and he wanted to try the hash-oil treatment concocted by medical marijuana activist Rick Simpson.By 2006, his cancer went into remission, a happy event that Sternberg is quick to attribute to Simpson’s oil: “The doctors say it was the chemo, but I know better.”Sternberg, 46, is now devoted to assisting others in their quest for similar relief. He runs the medical marijuana consultancy firm Compassion Nevada, which specializes in helping cancer patients obtain their medical marijuana cards. The firm is partnered with real medical professionals who can meet with patients, determine their needs and help them to get their “green cards.” On the educational side, Compassion Nevada teaches cardholders how to stay on the right side of the law and how to maintain personal grow spaces.As quickly as we learn about the safe use and benefits of medical marijuana, Sternberg wants to get that information to the people who need it. He could have used such help himself a number of years ago, when he sought his own green card. “At the time I was licensed, I asked the State, ‘How do I get my resources and information and knowledge on how to do this properly?’ And they said, ‘Don’t ask us; it’s against the law for us to give you any advice in that direction.’ Basically, they shoved patients into the black market.”We love hearing from you!
