Science is finally catching up with reality!

A new review of the science around the components of ma*****na says the “complex interaction between phytocannabinoids and biological systems offers hope for novel treatment approaches,” laying the groundwork for a new era of innovation in cannabis-based medicines. Among other takeaways, the rep...

Let me introduce myself - my name is Linnea, and I’m a Certified Cannabis Wellness Coach & Educator, an event planner & party host, workshop facilitator, cannabis cultivator and former Christian ‘missionary’ who’s made it her mission now to advocate for this oft-misunderstood plant and empower people to use it for wellness.

So, I host Puff n Paint events, teach people to make their own edibles & topicals, make & sell jewelry & educate on cannabis.

I’m also a mom of 4 boys, with a great partner & a bonus daughter and love outdoor adventure, playing games, roller coasters & creativity.

Cannabis helped me lose 65 lbs when I started consuming again as an adult by changing my relationship to stress and food addiction, which had its tight grip on me and weighed me down. I now have this great wellness tool, which helps me with pain, stress, sleep, energy and so many other things, as the millions of other cannabis users out there will attest to.

Its great impact on my own life inspired me to dedicate myself to helping others learn about and use this tool well, especially considering the misunderstanding and stigma about it in the Christian circles I’ve been a part of all my life.

That desire led me to the Cannabis Coaching Institute, where I graduated from the cannabis coaching program and found a community of like-minded, passionate people also focused on cannabis as a wellness tool (in contrast to a lot of the 🤑 focus that has infiltrated the industry, which I saw some when working in cultivation & budtending).

Cannabis heals - it’s a versatile, natural plant medicine that God gave us, and for that I'm very thankful! I've helped people use it for cancer, ADHD, sleep, pain, autism, anxiety, weight loss and so much more. It treats such a wide variety of conditions because of our *endocannabinoid* system, which not enough people understand. The science & study of cannabis is essential - and fascinating.

I’d like to know - What has cannabis done for YOU..???

P.S. New things! I can help you with more practical needs as well now. I’m an insurance professional by day, and can help you with home, auto & life insurance needs!

Good afternoon friends, creatives & canna-enthusiasts! Just wanted to say a couple things, tickets are going fast for the puff n paint on March 23 - prices are scheduled to increase on the 16th by $5 - that is, if there’s any left by then.

Most of the people that have told me they’re coming haven’t gotten their tickets yet and most of the tickets that have been purchased have been from people I don’t know yet.

So, don’t miss out!

If you are intending to come, get your tickets now or if you can’t yet then reach out to me so I can save you a spot.

Yesterday was a very special CCI grad call, where we gathered on Zoom and had the most graduates of the Cannabis Coaching Institute together at one time in too many years! To say it was inspiring and powerful is a vast understatement - I am so proud of what we all are doing in the world, and to see so many successful and incredible cannabis educators & coaches out there doing this work in the world, educating and empowering the masses to use cannabis effectively and as a wellness tool (not a crutch, or a distraction, or a vice - no, it’s a powerful healing plant) - WOW!!! Our commitment is to NSTFU - Never Shut The F* Up! There are still states like Idaho with almost no access and thousands suffering from chronic conditions that could be treated with cannabis and are not allowed to - one of my fellow coaches is working tirelessly to expand access, educate & push for legalization. Plus, there are still people in jail for doing what others are making a living at! It’s crazy. The lack of education, the stigmas, the closed mindedness, the propaganda, the need for justice & access, the healing impact it has had on my own life since I rediscovered cannabis as an adult - these are all reasons that I transitioned from a 10y career in Christian ministry as a ‘missionary’ with YWAM into cannabis education, advocacy, coaching & hosting cannabis-centered events & workshops. The passion I had for making a difference in the world & empowering people to live their best life is still my driving force, same as all these other passionate advocates and cannabis coaches - and same as the passionate world changers I used to serve with in YWAM that wore the label of ‘missionary,’ and the stigmas and misunderstanding the world has against Jesus followers as well. Now, I’ve been on both sides and felt the stigmas the groups have against each other in a sense, but needlessly. God made plants for us to use to heal ourselves, feeling good from your medicine is not wrong and really, it’s ALLLLLL about love. That’s the heart of faith and of a passionate pursuit to live an impactful life - love.

Using cannabis for sleep is one of its most popular applications for wellness purposes, and recent research confirms its efficacy (of course). It’s important to source quality products though and one of the biggest reasons is that cannabis is a known bio accumulator and soil remediator, which means that it has a unique ability to remove contaminants from the soil. This unique quality means it’s extra important to grow cannabis intended to be used for medicine in the highest quality soil using organic inputs, just like they do at the facility I’ve been working with recently, Pure Coast Veganics. I’ll talk more about this in the future but for now, we’re getting back to the CBD for sleep discussion. I have questions about this study, like was the CBD used broad or full spectrum, or did it contain a measurable amount of THC. Did they include any CBN in the blend? I would recommend incorporating all 3 into a sleep blend with the ratio and dose depending on desired effect and individual body chemistry. If you want to talk more about cannabis for sleep, message me or schedule a consultation, because I’d love to help you!

Recent research from medical experts at the University of Northern Colorado, the University of Utah, and the University of Illinois at Chicago indicated that taking 50 mg of CBD may significantly impact sleep quality while enhancing Natural Killer (NK) immune cell function. The study explored variou
