Everyone has a story of how they ended up working in the medical cannabis industry.

My journey started with the terminal diagnosis of pancreatic cancer of a dear friend's mother. In the last couple of month's of her life she'd been given cannabis oil, which did something that morphine could not. It allowed her to see out her final weeks with almost no pain and with complete lucidity. In short, she was given the chance to die with dignity.

As a journalist I knew the power of words. So I swore to my friend that I would do something about the utter unjustness that means millions of people around the world are denied access to the healing potential of the cannabis plant.

Fast forward a few weeks and I found myself at a hemp fair in Seville where I live in Spain. A week later I was hired as a full time writer for Endoca, a Danish CBD company. Since then my life has been dedicated to educating the world about cannabis, CBD and the endocannabinoid system through original, well-researched, concisely written, and easily digestible articles.

This summer (2020), my position as one of the most respected Europe-based medical cannabis writers will be cemented by the publication of my book, 'The CBD Book: The Essential Guide to CBD Oil

Based in Lancashire, Danielle Kay MNIMH. Bsc (Hons) has had a lifelong interest in natural health and wellbeing. Becoming a mother motivated her to train as a herbalist, and she is now a member of The National Institute of Medical Herbalists.
Danielle believes we need to learn to work with nature rather than against it and use our natural resources sustainably. To this end she assists an Eco-club every week for the pupils at a local primary school and has recently completed courses in Permaculture Design and Woodland Management. She is currently doing the “Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong-Learning Sector” course, as she is passionate about educating others in herbal medicine and caring for the earth. In September this year she will begin working on an MSc in Herbal Medicine.
Danielle also enjoys providing herbal first aid at festivals, where she can help people with acute sickness and injuries. She has done some voluntary work for Incredible Edible Todmorden, an award-winning community garden project. Her two children enjoy helping her both with her volunteer work and with growing their own organic produce on their allotment.
