Drenched in Wonder - Cannabis Conversations

For most of my life, I was against cannabis. I believed the stigma. Then one day, in the middle of burnout, overwhelm and a looming crisis, I tried it. And everything changed. 🌿From my unlikely first experience that changed everything, to the early days learning and experimenting with cannabis, to the harnessing of its power for creativity & adventure, to the traumatic experience that ruined my life, Drenched in Wonder is the story I need to tell; a window into how cannabis can affect a life, told with honesty, balance & care. My book is now live on Kickstarter - drenchedinwonder.com 🚀
