Joan Parrott-Fonseca joins Diana to talk about the unexpected lessons that come out of chronic illness and older age. Joan also talks about how the cannabis community as a whole can be more accessible to elderly folks.

In this episode, you will learn:
1. The difficulties faced by seniors when trying to access and use cannabis, include stigma and lack of understanding from both the general public and the medical community.
2. The potential for cannabis to help seniors with various issues, including sleep, mental health, and pain management.
3. More education and understanding of cannabis use among seniors, both from a medical and legislative standpoint.
"What I'm trying to do is not only educate seniors but educate their families that this is not some off deal thing."
Joan Parrot Fonseca is a political and public service veteran, with a long history of working to ensure that seniors are represented. She is currently using her skills and experience to help bridge the gap between the cannabis industry and the mainstream, in order to make it more accessible for seniors.
This is Joan's story...
Joan Parrot has worked in politics and public service for many years and has recently started working in the cannabis industry. She has seen the many holes in the accessibility of cannabis for seniors, especially the lack of research due to the Schedule I classification of cannabis. Joan is working to bridge the gap between the industry and the government to change the laws and make cannabis more accessible for seniors.
