On this podcast, you’ll hear stories from industry experts, medical professionals, policy makers, cannabis users and others across the world who can teach us a thing or two about cannabis. Weed, pot, dope - Cannabis has many different names and frequently people's perception of it is negative. Sometimes from a first hand encounter, but far too often from the tall tales we are told as we grow up. Despite the stereotypes of lazy potheads and reefer madness, over a third of Australians have tried cannabis, and 1 in 10 Australians use it regularly.

Cannabis Queens and Healthcare Dreams w/ Melanie Wentzel

In this powerful episode of Give & Toke, we’re joined by healthcare strategist, author, and global cannabis advocate Melanie Wentzel.

From working with governments and peak bodies to rewriting the narrative around women and weed in her groundbreaking book Cannabis Queens, Melanie brings sharp insight and deep heart to the conversation around equitable, person-centred care and the plant that’s changing lives.

We explore the radical role of women in the cannabis industry, the challenges of reforming conservative healthcare systems, and why storytelling may be the most transformative tool of all.

It’s medical. It’s political. It’s revolutionary.
