Sherri Mack BSN, RN Holistic Caring & The Green Nurse Co-founder and CNO

Send us Fan MailA veteran RN lands in the ICU, faces eighteen prescriptions, and finds relief not from another pill, but from a plant she’d been taught to distrust. That moment, pain plummeting without feeling “high”, sent Sherry Mack deep into the endocannabinoid system and forward into a new mission: make cannabis nursing safe, clear, and stigma-free for patients who want their lives back.We walk through the body’s overlooked regulator, the endocannabinoid system, and why deficiency can amplify pain, anxiety, insomnia, and stress. Sherry explains how phytocannabinoids mimic what the body should produce, why CBD-first approaches matter, and how precise ratios plus microdosing can restore function without impairment. She breaks down modes of use beyond smoking, what “therapeutic” truly means, and how to pair cannabinoids with simple habits, breathwork, sunlight, movement, and nutrition to strengthen outcomes. We also talk candidly about polypharmacy, drug–nutrient depletion, and how careful coaching helps people responsibly taper sleeping pills, anxiolytics, and opioids while staying safe around alcohol and avoiding crossfading.Recognition of cannabis nursing by the American Nurses Association, scope and standards, and patchwork state laws all shape today’s care. Sherry shares pediatric and adult cases, the Charlotte’s Web legacy, and new data on menopause support using CBD, CBG, and THCV to improve focus, energy, and night sweats. Along the way, a family story shows how stigma can soften when results are clear and compassionate guidance leads.If you’re curious about using cannabis as medicine, want to reduce side effects, or need a smarter framework than “more THC,” this conversation offers practical steps and credible resources, including education, CE for clinicians, and a free nurse line backed by a pharmacist. Subscribe, share with someone who needs a gentler path to relief, and leave a review to tell us what you want us to dig into next.Sherri Bio - https://holisticcaring.com/team/sherri-mack/ Holistic Caring & The Green Nurse - www.holisticcaring.com Bloom Hemp CBD - www.bloomhemp.comThe Green Nurse Podcast Living Your Best Life - https://www.youtube.com/@thegreennurse Check out products and the FREE nurse line for help with questions,  link here:    https://bloomhemp.com/ref/[email protected]/If this conversation stirred something in you… good.
