Like many people in the cannabis community, Toni (MSN, RN, CYT), fondly known as “Nurse Toni”, has a very personal story that brought her into this space with a passion for helping people pursue health and wellness through cannabis. A nurse providing care for over 30 years within pediatrics and community health, Nurse Toni experienced what many healthcare providers do: professional burnout.

As a long-time cannabis user, Toni recognized the benefits of cannabis for depression, anxiety, and mental exhaustion, yet lived in an area where cannabis was still highly stigmatized, and at this point, kept her cannabis use under wraps.
