Not long after Emily passed, Francesca discovered cannabis may have helped Emily's quality of life and coping with the spasticity that caused her fatal pneumonia. Francesca’s discovery gave her new purpose. Francesca and her business partner Mike Patterson identified a need to help educate the public about CBD and be a one-stop shop for high quality hemp products that provide the relief not available to Emily.Today, Francesca connects people with CBD products that improve quality of life. Francesca is an informed and inspired cannabis entrepreneur, advocate, and speaker.
