Episode 64: The 411 On Conscious Cannabis (feat. Ariane Williams)

One of my favorite aspects stemming from the realm of plant medicines & psychedelics alike is the never ending questions that I find those who connect with these medicines ask about life as a whole. For me, curiosity, imagination & awe make up some of my favorite states of awareness in life & when I have the opportunity to meet others who not only share a mutual love for these medicines & states but are also passionate about diving into their own investigations into the many mysteries that present themselves within these spaces, I get extremely excited from the depths of my soul to discuss these topics with them. Todays guest on the show is one of those individuals that when I first met, I was blown away at how many similarities we had, specifically within the realm of how we view Cannabis as a tool for self development & self awareness. Cannabis has been one of my main passions in life for over half of my life now & trust me when I say that the way in which I, as well as todays guest, speak about Cannabis is not the way in which most people view the plant & as such, when we first connected I knew I wanted to dive into her world & have the opportunity to have her on the show. She is a dedicated mother, a committed nurse who has spent the last 14 years working in critical care, is a graduate of the “Connect With Cannabis” program & is a proponent of the conscious, intentional use of plant medicines in one’s life in order to maximize quality of life. In addition, she has had intimate experience helping her father through opioid dependency through holistic means, including Cannabis, & in todays episode, we will be diving into her experience in these realms, some of her favorite ways to connect with the Cannabis plant & her experience with certain other medicines as well.Ariane Williams:High! My name is Ariane. I am mother, nurse, cannabis specialist and native Texan. My dad has suffered from severe chronic pain for over 30 years. When he decided he no longer wanted to continue to cycle of opioid dependency, I knew I could figure out a way to support him with nature’s plant remedies.
